Check value between two data

I have two datapicker that beautifully work, but how should I check if the number of day between the two datas are <= of 5 days?

Ex. The event starts on Apr. 21th, if it ends on/before Apr. 26th the form should validate, otherwise it shows an error message.

Thanks!

use Server side validation for this.

select Date validation type.

for the server variable, click the lightning bolt and select the endDate form element.

for the start date, enter:

php:

<?php echo((isset($_POST["startDate"]))?$_POST["startDate"]:"") ?>

for the end date enter:

php:

<?php echo((isset($_POST["startDate"]))?date("m/d/Y", mktime(0,0,0,date("m",strtotime($_POST["startDate"])),date("d",strtotime($_POST["startDate"]))+5,date("Y",strtotime($_POST["startDate"])))):""); ?>

this code is assuming your start date form element is named "startDate", you will need to adjust the code if you use a different name.

it gives an error:

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateDT(((isset($_POST["eventoDATA"]))?$_POST["eventoDATA"]:"") . "",true,".*","","",false,".*","","",true,3);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateDT(((isset($_POST["eventoFINE"]))?$_POST["eventoFINE"]:"") . "",true,".*","".((isset($_POST["eventoDATA"]))?$_POST["eventoDATA"]:"") ."","".((isset($_POST["eventoDATA"]))?date("m/d/Y",*mktime(0,0,0,date("m",strtotime($_POST["eventoDATA"])),date("d",strtotime($_POST["eventoDATA"]))+5,date("Y",strtotime($_POST["eventoDATA"])))):"");* ."",false,".*","","",true,5);

the error it's between
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateDT(((isset($_POST["eventoFINE"]))?$_POST["eventoFINE"]:"") . "",true,".*"
and
* ."",false,".*","","",true,5);

send me a copy of your page in a zip archive so I can see the code in context and test it.

Great, now it works on insert page!
I've to fix the update one not to show the error message on load, but it's ok.

Thank you Jason!
