Greetings,
I have a web form that is emailed to us once it is filled out. It also has a date field, that needs to be validated somehow to not allow input of any days within 3 days from now. So the min. date field acceptable should be 10/06/08 (3 days from now). I was pointed to a great link below, but unfortunately I have no experience with AJAX or JavaScript for that matter. So I have no idea how to implement this. I downloaded the AJAX library with all the .js files, and uploaded them to my server. The only problem is to implement it. The web form code is posted below. If anyone can provide a code sample to implement this that would be great.
Any other ways (code samples) to validate my date field are also welcome.

I cannot access the form anymore. It gives me an error message right away:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home1/barkleyc/public_htm
Here is line 70:
<? if(isset($_SESSION['error'
I tried renaming my form page to .html instead of .php, and that eliminates the error. However when I submit my form, nothing happens, I just get redirected back to the form page, regardless of JobDate. What's causing this behavior?
Here is the code that worked for me:
<?
$myFieldDate = strtotime($_POST['myFieldD
$newdate = strtotime("+3 day");
if($myFieldDate < $newdate)
{ session_start();
$_SESSION['error'] = "Please choose different Date!";
header('Location: http://domain.com/client/t
exit;
}?>
On the Form Page itself, all the way at the top:
<? session_start();
?>

you should not depend on data validation that is done on client side, you should do validation on the server with php script:
addiming that name of the date input field is "data" and method = POST
<?php
$date = strftime($_POST['date'],ti
if($date < 259200) // 259200 is number of seconds for 3 days
echo "date entered is not 3 days from now!";
?>
