Form text validation
Hi there,
Can you please help me with a php script to compare text entered into a web form to the current date? Date will only be year and month.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

What are the comparison requirements?

Hi Roonan...
I need a user to enter a number like 703MSZT010853 (this is a product serial number), the first three digits is the manufacturing date (1st = year, 2nd = month) and the item has a 3 year warranty. I need to check these numbers with the current date to validate warranty on the unit and return with a message.
Thanks

Is there possibly a way of checking this in normal HTML?

Also, can it be validated in months instead of years?
