06.12.2007

| 9726 views |

        Matches MySQL built-in datetime type, for example, 2007-06-05 15:26:02
It also matches date type, i.e. 2007-06-05

/^([0-9]{2,4})-([0-1][0-9])-([0-3][0-9]) (?:([0-2][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]))?$/

Would just like to add to the code.Adding some more validation on month,day and hour end ([0-9]{2,4})-([0][0-9]|1[0-2])-([0-2][0-9]|3[0-1]) (?:([0-1][0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]))? This will now not allow dates format 2011-19-32 28:00:00 .....
