Why don't you just ask for his age (in years) instead ?
"Never argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
That's doable with simple conditionals. The most important field is year. We assume if is not > 1991 or 91. You wan to check boundaries, also use strtotime('-18 years')

I agree with you, it is not pretty but several sites use this method of control with drop down lists and even input fields. I think more for legal purposes.

For legal purposes?
You can quickly bypass this mechanisms, if you really want to be sure you should use credit card validation or something (but keep in mind that this will discourage people to continue) ...

That is not intended for a 'perfect' system, it's only a disclaimer. If you want to bypass it, it's your problem, you're violating the law. Look the little legend on every drug, that doesn't avoid to swallow a pill by a minor.
HI,
I know anyone can make up a date of birth etc, but the whole point is for legal reasons,
Most countries now require to have something like i want above, it is not really a verification system but more to the point of notifiying user they must be minimum age or over to access site, it basically tells them the site they are entering contains what ever content like nudity etc.
Even thou i could simply use links something like (i agree) Get me out of here) etc i was hoping there was something like what i was asking for.
like this: http://www.carling.com/
I find it hard to believe with all the scripts out there, there is not one that does what i want, i have searched for past two days with no luck.
And it would be even better with a remember me cookie.
Regards,
genieuk
