[SalesForce] i am getting System.TypeException: Invalid date: 30/06/2016

I am getting:

System.TypeException: Invalid date: 30/06/2016

exception as I try to enter future dates in my date of birth inputtext. To validate this I have put below code:

Date dt=Date.parse(this.bufferdate);        
if (dt > Date.Today()) {
    system.debug('today date'+Date.Today());
    isValid = false;
    isFutureBirthDateError=true;
}

Here bufferdate is string and value of DateOfBirth.
Please help me with fix. thanks in advance

parse() returns the formatted string depends on the user locale. Check your locale in user record and its date format here Supported locales

From your message noticed its not accepting format(dd/mm/yyyy) 30/06/2016, so you may need to change the format of bufferdate string as per your locale like (mm/dd/yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy..) or need to change the locale in user record.

I useually try and keep dates in the yyyy-MM-dd format as this is more widely accepted in development.

Your code becomes:

Date dt;
dt = Date.valueOf('2013-05-05');
System.debug(dt);

and runs successfully.

You are using date.parse on a string that you construct as centre number / right number / left number

So in your example you turn 2015-06-04 into 04/06/2015. I would understand this as the 4th of June but our american friends would (wrongly) think that this is 6th of April.

When you call date.parse it uses the users settings to decide whether it should be mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy

So for some dates and users it will fail because it mixes month and day.

String dayOrDate = '2015-06-30';
List<String> dateParts = dayOrDate.split('-');
Datetime dateWithTime = Datetime.newInstance(Integer.valueOf(dateParts[0]), Integer.valueOf(dateParts[1]), Integer.valueOf(dateParts[2]));
dayOrDate = dateWithTime.format('dd- MMM-yy');
System.debug(dayOrDate);

returns

30- Jun-15
