Date of birth form

1

Hey guys, i’ve been looking on the forums and googleing for a php script that loops through years, months and days for options in a select input i.e.



<select name="year">
<option value="1910">1910</option>
<option value="1911">1911</option>
<option value="1912">1912</option>
<option value="1913">1913</option>
<!--to current year-->
<option value="2008">2008</option>
</select>

<select name="month">
<option value="1">January</option>
<option value="2">February</option>
<option value="3">March</option>
<!--etc...-->
</select>

<select name="days">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<!--etc...-->
</select>

I’m sure there is while or for loop that does this…just to save time lol. any info would be great. thanks guys

You’ll only use the function keyword when declaring a function, and the echo is contained within the function itself. So, you can just do this:


<?php yearOptions(); ?>
<?php monthOptions(); ?>
<?php dayOptions(); ?>

think it would actually be
<html>
<select name=“year”>
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Courier New][COLOR=#0000bb]<?php yearOptions[/COLOR]COLOR=#007700; [/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=#0000bb][FONT=Courier New]?>[/FONT]
[/COLOR][/COLOR]</select>
</html>
