I have some forms on my site that use text boxes to enter dates. They typically default to today''s date, in the format "MM/DD/YYYY" However, sometimes a user will erase the box and type in a date, but instead of typing 02/01/2006, they''ll type 2/1/06. Once the record is created in the mysql database, it reads as ''0006-02-01'' instead of

I know this: > library(date) > x="1979-04-04" > try=as.date(x, "ymd") > print(try) [1] 4Apr79 and that `x' here has to be a string, e.g.: > x=1979-04-04 > print(x) [1] 1971 I'm stuck in reading from a file. I say: > A <- read.table(file="try") > print(A) V1 V2 1 1979-04-04

Hello all. I don''t suppose some enterprising soul with much more skill than me has whipped up a "validates_dateness_of" (Complete with leap year calculations) method for use with all the other validation methods and wishes to spread much much joy?
