Improved sfDateValidator

see http://symfoniac.wordpress.com/2007/04/12/my-final-sfdatevalidator/

There are still problems with the sfDateValidator not accepting input_date_tag's generated multiple html selects. (#1911)

And here is the patch:

  protected function getValidDate($value, $culture)
  {
    if (is_array ($value))
    {
      $d = @$value ['day'];
      $m = @$value ['month'];
      $y = @$value ['year'];
    }
    else
    {
      // Use the language culture date format
      $result = $this->getContext()->getI18N()->getDateForCulture($value, $culture);
      if ($result === null)
      {
        return null;
      }

      list($d, $m, $y) = $result;
    }

    // Make sure the date is a valid gregorian calendar date also
    if (!checkdate($m, $d, $y))
    {
      return null;
    }

    return strtotime("$y-$m-$d 00:00");
  }

Fabio just send me an email with further improvements to the sfDateValidator:

"I added some code to handle i18N date coming from input_date_tag and object_input_date_tag helpers."

Is this sfDateValidator getting into 1.1 or are you guys working on a completely new version?

This helper is deprecated in symfony 1.1 and no new feature will be introduced in symfony 1.0. So, this won't be fixed. symfony 1.1 provides much better date and time validators.
