I try to make system that can detect date in some string, here is the code :
$string = "02/04/16 10:08:42";
$pattern = "/\<(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])\/\.- \/\.- \d{2}\>/";
$found = preg_match($pattern, $string);
if ($found) {
echo ('The pattern matches the string');
} else {
echo ('No match');
}
The result i found is "No Match", i don't think that i used correct regex for the pattern. Can somebody tell me what i must to do to fix this code
