判断字符串是否为日期，即使字符串是非标准格式

(strtotime不接受任何自定义格式)

<?php
function validateDateTime($dateStr, $format)
{
    date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
    $date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $dateStr);
    return $date && ($date->format($format) === $dateStr);
}

// These return true
validateDateTime('2001-03-10 17:16:18', 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
validateDateTime('2001-03-10', 'Y-m-d');
validateDateTime('2001', 'Y');
validateDateTime('Mon', 'D');
validateDateTime('March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm', 'F j, Y, g:i a');
validateDateTime('March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm', 'F j, Y, g:i a');

使用php预构建函数的简单方式:

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

Test

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

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";
}

你也可以解析月份日期和年份的日期，然后你可以使用PHP函数checkdate()，你可以在这里读到:http://php.net/manual/en/function.checkdate.php

你也可以试试这个:

$date="2013-13-01";

if (preg_match("/^[0-9]{4}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|3[0-1])$/",$date))
    {
        echo 'Date is valid';
    }else{
        echo 'Date is invalid';
    }

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);
  }
}
