future

DESCRIPTION

Verification of the form field value succeeds if the passed time and date are in the future, compared to the current time.

It is possible to specify a minimum accepted time difference between the current and passed date. The specification can be any valid interval.

EXAMPLES

Example: Check for future date

FORM_FIELD_NAME=future

Example: Check for future date, displaying a custom error message

FORM_FIELD_NAME=future "Date must be in the future"

Example: Check for future date, at least 2 days ahead

FORM_FIELD_NAME=future 2 days "Date must be at least two days ahead"

Example: Check for date within 60 minutes behind the current time

FORM_FIELD_NAME=future -60 minutes "Time must be within an hour behind"

NOTES

This order check makes sense with date fields and widgets only.

The time difference can be specified as a negative value as well, effectively allowing you to check whether the passed date is "too behind" the current date.
