I made a mistake, but even after turning $_POST into $_GET, it still
displays nothing:

function getDateFromForm($key, $l=8, $val=null) {
//Check for date DD/MM/YYYY
return (isset($_GET[$key])) ?
filter_var(substr($_GET[$key],0,$l),

FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP,array("options"=>array("regexp"=>"/^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}/ "))
)
: $val;
}

//http://192.168.0.1/test.php?mydate=01/02/2012
print getDateFromForm("mydate");
