试着让我知道这对我有用

$date = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $dataRowValue);
if (!empty($date)) {
//Your logic
}else{
//Error
}

如果您传递任何alpha或字母数字值，它将返回给您空值

正则表达式的解决方案

function verify_date($date){
  /* correct format = "2012-09-15 11:23:32" or "2012-09-15"*/
  if (preg_match("/^[0-9]{4}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])( (0[0-9]|[1-2][0-4]):(0[0-9]|[1-5][0-9]):(0[0-9]|[1-5][0-9]))?$/",$date)) {
    return true;
  } else {
    die("Wrong date format: it should be '2012-09-15 11:23:32' or '2012-09-15', date received is: ".$date);
  }
}

与cl-sah的回答一致，但这个听起来更好，更短…

function checkmydate($date) {
  $tempDate = explode('-', $date);
  return checkdate($tempDate[1], $tempDate[2], $tempDate[0]);
}

Test

checkmydate('2015-12-01');//true
checkmydate('2015-14-04');//false

这个选项不仅简单，而且几乎可以接受任何格式，尽管使用非标准格式可能会有bug。

$timestamp = strtotime($date);
return $timestamp ? $date : null;

试一试:

$date = "2017-10-01";


function date_checker($input,$devider){
  $output = false;

  $input = explode($devider, $input);
  $year = $input[0];
  $month = $input[1];
  $day = $input[2];

  if (is_numeric($year) && is_numeric($month) && is_numeric($day)) {
    if (strlen($year) == 4 && strlen($month) == 2 && strlen($day) == 2) {
      $output = true;
    }
  }
  return $output;
}

if (date_checker($date, '-')) {
  echo "The function is working";
}else {
  echo "The function isNOT working";
}

    /**** date check is a recursive function. it's need 3 argument 
    MONTH,DAY,YEAR. ******/

    $always_valid_date = $this->date_check($month,$day,$year);

    private function date_check($month,$day,$year){

        /** checkdate() is a php function that check a date is valid 
        or not. if valid date it's return true else false.   **/

        $status = checkdate($month,$day,$year);

        if($status == true){

            $always_valid_date = $year . '-' . $month . '-' . $day;

            return $always_valid_date;

        }else{
            $day = ($day - 1);

            /**recursive call**/

            return $this->date_check($month,$day,$year);
        }

    }
