I don't know offhand what exactly PHP makes of your GET URL, but be aware that the
forward slash is a path separator.

The regex is okay. Find ways to quickly test code bits, or functions, if possible
just use the command line. My test (newlines inserted for reading):

php > $d = "01/01/2112";
php > echo filter_var($d,
FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP,array("options"=>array("regexp"=>"/^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}/"))),
PHP_EOL;

01/01/2112

php > echo urlencode($d), PHP_EOL;

01%2F01%2F2112

Write regexp here with a different separator, easier to read:
array("regexp"=>"#^\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}#")

/Str.
