PHP date

Hello all.

I’m developing a site, in which there is a field named “Date of Birth.”

I want to automate that field with select options and and within a predefined range of years. but I’m unable to put the logic in the correct order.

please help me ?:shifty:

  • Output a select HTML tag
  • Loop through years, outputting an option tag each loop
  • Output the ending HTML select tag

Or, if you want the full code and because I’m feeling extra generous :stuck_out_tongue:

echo '<select name="Year">';
for($Year = 1901; $Year <= 1992; $Year++){
    printf('<option value="&#37;1$s">%1$s</option>', $Year);
}
echo '</select>';

Thanx Jake

Actually I was thinking the other way, means in the php’s date function way, and i.e. where I was struck…

Thanx for the help. Now I can automate the other two fields too, of month and day.

Yo!!:smiley:

Logic was simple but I was thinking the other way… lol…
