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

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');
validateDateTime('03.10.01', 'm.d.y');
validateDateTime('10, 3, 2001', 'j, n, Y');
validateDateTime('20010310', 'Ymd');
validateDateTime('05-16-18, 10-03-01', 'h-i-s, j-m-y');
validateDateTime('Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM', 'l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');
validateDateTime('Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:28:57', 'D, d M Y H:i:s');
validateDateTime('17:03:18 is the time', 'H:m:s \i\s \t\h\e \t\i\m\e');
validateDateTime('17:16:18', 'H:i:s');

// These return false
validateDateTime('2001-03-10 17:16:18', 'Y-m-D H:i:s');
validateDateTime('2001', 'm');
validateDateTime('Mon', 'D-m-y');
validateDateTime('Mon', 'D-m-y');
validateDateTime('2001-13-04', 'Y-m-d');

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

/*********************************************************************************
Returns TRUE if the input parameter is a valid date string in "YYYY-MM-DD" format (aka "MySQL date format")
The date separator can be only the '-' character.
*********************************************************************************/
function isMysqlDate($yyyymmdd)
{
    return checkdate(substr($yyyymmdd, 5, 2), substr($yyyymmdd, 8), substr($yyyymmdd, 0, 4)) 
        && (substr($yyyymmdd, 4, 1) === '-') 
        && (substr($yyyymmdd, 7, 1) === '-');
}

检查给定日期是否有效的最简单方法可能是使用strtotime将其转换为unixtime，将其格式化为给定日期的格式，然后进行比较:

function isValidDate($date) {
    return date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date)) === $date;
}

当然，你可以使用正则表达式来检查有效性，但它将仅限于给定的格式，每次你都必须编辑它来满足另一种格式，而且它也会比所需的更多。内置函数是实现作业的最佳方式(在大多数情况下)。
