Date Validation

I have created a date field called cb_dateofbirth and I want to validate the date field (cb_dateofbirth) to be smaller than today's date (or perhaps a date stored in one of the other fields?).. therefore, I configured the cb Code Field (under the field integrations) to have the following codes below. Is this how it should actually work?

If this is date of birth for the user themselves you don't need that. Suggest just using the following parameters on the date field to restrict how old they can select.

Minimum Year: - 100
Maximum Year: -13

That should limit them to the age range of 13 - 100. Nothing else will be selectable. Both parameters can be found under Parameters > Validation of your date field.

If you still insist on custom validation then some comments regarding your code is it's not valid PHP or substitutions. The code field simple takes your string of text, converts to PHP, and executes it; please also read the parameter description carefully regarding what values your code should return for validation purposes.

I know about this feature.. I am actually prototyping a claims application and I would require that the date validation to be dynamic.

Is there a code field sample on the demo site which I can study as a sample?

Those parameters are dynamic if you use -NUMBER or +NUMBER usages.

For simple display of PHP, yes. For validation, no. Code Validation just executes your supplied PHP where you'd return a true or false if the value is valid; please be sure to read the parameter descriptions carefully.

Been looking for it. Sorry but can you show me where to find the sample on the demo site? Thanks.

There is no example for what you're trying to do on our demo site. There is only a simple example of outputting PHP as a field value, which you can review the cb_codefield1 field for in the backend. What you're needing to do though is to write custom PHP to compare the [value] against the current date using the Code Validation feature of CB Code Field. This is added by editing your field then review the parameters under the Integrations > CB Code Field tab.
