I've created a search form using webassist and I'd like to restrict the first date that can be used

I have created a search page and currently the first date that can be selected can be anything. I would like to restrict this to a time period two years before today. How can I accomplish that?

You can use the webassist server validation for dates to restrict this.

Then you can use <?php echo(date('m/d/y',strtotime('-2 year'))); ?> as the minimum date requirement.

Field Validation and date restriction

When I selected the server validation and then inserted the code you gave me the page would not display. What am I doing wrong?

Additional Comment Field Validation & Date Restriction

Am I pulling the Server Validation from the right place? I tried setting the Server Validation before I generated the pages and it still allows me to set a date prior to two years before today

Post a copy of the page you are working on and I can try to debug it.

Here are the pages

I generated new pages because I've probably corrupted those from before. The search page won't display when I put the server validation in there.

Well the first thing is that you have to add the validation to the results page and not the search page directly. Since the search page submits to the results page, it is the page that needs the server validation.

Remove the server validation from the search page. It is odd though... it appears to be applying without a trigger value. What did you put in as the trigger when applying the server behavior?

Trigger Value`

I didn't put a trigger value in originally, then I read a little more and I put in any form any post. That didn't make a difference however. I went to the results page and the trigger value there is (isset($_GET["Search"]) || isset($_GET["Search_x"])) && !isset($_GET["invalid"]) and it was already there. Is that the one we want to use or should it be something different?

That is the correct one... now add the date validation that I suggested.

Still didn't work

I went to the results page and clicked edit the validations that were already there. I added the "date/time" validation type, used the "showbegin" dynamic variable and then entered the code you gave me in the "minimum" date area. I clicked OK and then saved the form and uploaded everything to the server.

Unfortunately it still allows me to enter a date prior to 5/15/2013 which is what I wanted to prevent. When the results are displayed they include events prior to 5/13/2013. Actually I don't care what date the person searching wants to enter... I just don't want anything before two years ago displayed.

I'm all ears for suggestions!!!!
