I have a form, with an input that is called Date Birth and is of date format, what I need is to validate the server side, using php that that input is a date.

for example, validate that the name is mandatory:

if (trim($nombre)==""){
    $errores['nombre'] = "¡El nombre es obligatorio!";
    $error = true;
    }

How would it be in that case to validate the date? thanks.

You can use the function checkdate that you receive as parameter the month, day and year, assuming you get it by POST

$myDate = $_POST['fecha'];
$date_arr = explode('-', $myDate); //separamos la fecha que va separada por -
if (checkdate($date_arr[0], $date_arr[1], $date_arr[2])) {
        $errores['fecha'] = "Fecha  no válida";
         $error = true;
  }

Following a validation of your form, it would be:

$fecha_valida = strtotime($variable_fecha) ? true : false;
if (!$fecha_valida){
    $errores['fecha'] = "¡La fecha no es válida!";
    $error = true;
    }

I hope it serves you.
