Zend date validator fail for format dd-mm-yyyy

I have the following code:

<?php

  $dateString = '12.12.12';
  $dateCheckArray['format'] = 'dd-mm-yyyy';
  $validator = new Zend_Validate_Date($dateCheckArray);
  if ($validator->isValid($dateString)) {
      echo 'valid';
  }
  else {
      echo 'invalid';
  }

The code works ok for most formats, but for the one specified it fails when using a . date instead of a - date.

For example for the date specified before (12.12.12) the script will echo 'valid', even though it obviously doesn't fit the format.

Can anyone point out why this is happening?

Note: This is zend 1.

There is a bug in ZF-7583: Zend_Date::isDate accepts invalid dates. Thats why some dates are showing in correct. Its better to use a regex validation for it.

You can check this post for the regex Regex to validate date format dd/mm/yyyy
