  1. Thanks. That should have occurred to me. I've gotten it to work, sort of. If I try to intentionally trigger an error I get the error message (Either you entered...) up through 2037(using April 3 as the month and day). Using a 2038 year date the code print "<p>You will turn $age this year.</p>"; gives me "You will turn -26 this year." Here is the pertinent code: //Check that they were born before the current day $current_year = date('Y'); $today = new DateTime(); $birthday = strtotime($_POST['month']."/".$_POST['day']."/".$_POST['year']); if ($birthday < $today->getTimestamp()) { $age = $current_year - $_POST['year']; //Calculate age this year } else { print '<p class="error">Either you entered your birth year wrong or you come from the future!</p>'; $okay = FALSE; } //End of 2nd conditional } else { //Else for 1st conditional print '<p class="error">Please enter the year you were born as four digits.</p>'; $okay = FALSE; } //End of 1st conditional What am I doing wrong?
  2. For the fifth task I tried: //Validate Day if (empty($_POST['day'])) { print '<p class="error">Please enter a value for day</p>'; $okay = FALSE; } //Validate Month if (empty($_POST['month'])) { print '<p class="error">Please enter a value for month</p>'; $okay = FALSE; } //Validate the birth year if (is_numeric($_POST['year']) AND (strlen($_POST['year']) == 4) ) { //Check that they were born before the current day $current_year = date('Y'); $today = date( "n/j/Y"); $birthday = $_POST['month']."/".$_POST['day']."/".$_POST['year']; if ($birthday < $today) { $age = $current_year - $_POST['year']; //Calculate age this year } else { print '<p class="error">Either you entered your birth year wrong or you come from the future!</p>'; $okay = FALSE; } //End of 2nd conditional } else { //Else for 1st conditional print '<p class="error">Please enter the year you were born as four digits.</p>'; $okay = FALSE; but when I enter a valid birthday, I get this message: "Either you entered your birth year wrong or you come from the future!" so my conditional ($birthday < $today) is coming back false when it shouldn't. What am I doing wrong?
  3. I tried this, but all I get is the word "Array". Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out. I thought I had resubmitted the form from the html file, but I must have reloaded the handle_reg.php by mistake.
