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!
