regular expression for DD/MM/YYYY in php is?

I have a little problem...
what's the regular expression for DD/MM/YYYY in PHP?
I know that for MM/DD/YYYY is /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/
but for DD/MM/YYYY what is it?
I tried to google it but bad luck nothing?
Pls help me!!! Thank you!!!

 

It's the same /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2} means 2 consecutive numbers.

 

Just in case you are trying to display a date that is already in a database and failed to ask the question correctly, here is page for you to read:

If you wanted a more accurate regex you could use

'%^(0[1-9]|1[012])/(0[1-9]|[12][012]|3[01])/\d{4}$%'

PHP:

It will check that MM is 01 > 12
DD is 01 > 31
and that YYYY is four digits
It's not perfect by a long way, but its better than just \d{2} which can have anything from 00 > 99
