This is how i did this,

$DateFormat = new \Zend\Validator\Date(array('format' => 'Y-m-d'));

    if(!($DateFormat->isValid($somedate))){
    //if not valid do something 

}else{

//do something else
}

i forgot to mention that this is for Zend 2.0

It is not possible at the moment to validate against an exact date format in (see ZF2 Issue #4763) but you can add an extra regex validator (see example here) or write a custom validator to handle this (see Issue).

use Zend\Validator\Date;
use Zend\Validator\Regex;

$validator = new Date(array(
    'format' => 'd-m-Y',
));
$validator2 = new Regex(array(
    'pattern' => '%[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}%',
));

You simply use the Date validator (Zend_Validate_Date).

Eg

$validator = new Zend_Validate_Date(array(
    'format' => 'dd-mm-yyyy',
    'locale' => $yourLocale
);
