When using a validation rule like so:

[code]$v->add_rule('year', 'Year', 'required|valid_date[Y]');[/code]

You can post, say 2006, but the validated year will output one year less, 2005.

Internally, _validate_valid_date is using the built in function date_parse_from_format. When passed just a year (Y) the returned array ($parsed) only contains the year - no month or day, meaning that the call to date($format, mktime($parsed array elements)) returns one year less.

I hope that makes sense..?

To "fix" this, i amended the function to make sure that $parsed[month] and $parsed[day] were set:

[code]
date($format, mktime($parsed['hour'], $parsed['minute'], $parsed['second'], (!empty($parsed['month'])?$parsed['month']:1), (!empty($parsed['day'])?$parsed['day']:1), $parsed['year']));
[/code]
