cgi::untaint::date

CGI::Untaint::date(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   CGI::Untaint::date(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::Untaint::date - validate a date

SYNOPSIS

	 use CGI::Untaint;
	 my $handler = CGI::Untaint->new($q->Vars);

	 my $date = $handler->extract(-as_date => 'date');

DESCRIPTION

       is_valid

       This Input Handler verifies that it is dealing with a reasonable date. Reasonably means anything that Date::Manip thinks is sensible, so
       you could use any of (for example):
	 "December 12, 2001"
	 "12th December, 2001"
	 "2001-12-12"
	 "next Tuesday"
	 "third Wednesday in March"

       See Date::Manip for much more information on what date formats are acceptable.

       The resulting date will be a Date::Simple object.  Date::Simple for more information on this.

       date_format

       By default ambiguous dates of the format 08/09/2001 will be treated as UK style (i.e. 8th September rather than 9th August)

       If you want to change this, subclass it and override date_format()

WARNING

       Date::Manip does not play nicely with taint mode. In order to work around this we locally clobber Date::Manip's 'timezone' code. As we're
       only interested in dates rather than times, this shouldn't be much of an issue. If it is, then please let me know!
