I want to allow multiple formats for a field in Yii2 ActiveRecord like:



public function rules()

return [
['date', 'date', 'format' => 'php:Y-m-d H:i'],
['date', 'date', 'format' => 'php:Y-m-d'],
];



But like this it fails if any of them fails. I there any way to do it rules?



Currently I'm thinking of doing it in beforeValidate like:



public function beforeValidate()

$this->date = date('Y-m-d H:i', strtotime($this->date));
return parent::beforeValidate();



What is the best way to do it?

You can do it by making function, for example validateDateFormat() and to handle logic inside it, and then in rules you say ['date', 'validateDateFormat'], refer to Yii's documentation for more informations.

    You can create Custom Rule it work like this .



    Just add under rule



    ['date','datefunction']

    public function datefunction($attribute,$params)
    $date = $this->$attribute;
    /*****check validation******/

    $this->addError($attribute, "Date : $date Format is wrong");



    Note: Your may get DB exception error. You need to change format once saving a file.

      Looks like you want to match multiple date and time formats? Try this way:



      ['date', 'match', 'pattern' => '#^(?!0000)[0-9]4-((0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-9])|(0[13-9]|1[0-2])-(29|30)|(0[13578]|1[02])-31)( ([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]))?$#']
