CodeIgniter doesnt include date validation. You should validate manual like that:

$yourdate = '2015-03-09';
$pattern = '/^(19|20)\d\d[\-\/.](0[1-9]|1[012])[\-\/.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$/';

if (!preg_match($pattern, $yourdate)) 
{
    echo 'Your date does not match the YYYY-MM-DD format.';
} 
else 
{
    echo 'Your date is correct!';      
}
