I think that order of parameters in function
checkdate();
matters.
bool checkdate ( int $month , int $day , int $year )
If you output contents of your array after explode
print_r($dateMatch);
You will notice that
$dateMatch[0] - Year
$dateMatch[1] - month
$dateMatch[2] - date
In your case try following
checkdate($dateMatch[1], $dateMatch[2], $dateMatch[0]);
Hope this will help.
Best regards.
