I needed a datefield like 'dd/mm/yyyy' or so with textfield.
My solution in Class.Validator.php

<?php
function DateText($value)
{
//Date d/m/yyyy and dd/mm/yyyy
//1/1/00 through 31/12/99 and 01/01/1900 through 31/12/2099
//Matches invalid dates such as February 31st
$regex='^\b(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](0?[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](\d{4})\b^';

  if (preg_match($regex, $value)) {
    $ar=preg_split("/[-\/.]/",$value);
    $y = (int) $ar[2];
    $m = (int) $ar[1];
    $d = (int) $ar[0];

  //Check months with 30 days
    if (($m==4 || $m==6 || $m==9 || $m==11) && $d>30) { return "error!"; }

   //Ceck leap year
    if ($m == 2) {
        $leapy = ((($y % 4) == 0) && (($y % 100) != 0)  || (($y % 400) == 0));
        if (($d > 29) || ($d > 28 && !$leapy)) return "not a leap year!";
    }
    return true;
  } else {
    return "wrong date!";
  }
}
?>

example:

<?php // make the datefield
$form -> TextField("From Date1 ", "datefrom",FH_DATETEXT,10,20); ?>

Nice custom validator, we will not integrate it, there are more dateformats and the once you used think about: m/d/YY mm/dd/YY m/d/YYYY mm/dd/YYYY
