Can any one tell me how to add validation to date along with the time

There is some format like "yyyy-MM-dd" for date as in

public function rules()

{

return array(

array(‘myDate’, ‘type’, ‘type’ => ‘date’, ‘message’ => ‘{attribute}: is not a date!’, ‘dateFormat’ => ‘yyyy-MM-dd’),

);

}

But wat format shud we follow to add time in this eg. i want to have format as 2010-01-01 12:38:30 now hw to validate it.

There is another type you can use called datetime. See here.

So something like this should work:





public function rules()

{

   return array(

      array('myDate', 'type', 'type' => 'datetime', 'datetimeFormat' => 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm', 'message' => '{attribute}: is not a date!'),

   );

}

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and its working too but I need the validation uptill seconds format

I mean the format should include seconds also and no such format is mentioned in the class reference document

Ok, I think this pattern should work:


yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss

See here it says:

And at CDateTimeParser you find the possible pattern characters.

Thanks a lot for help.
