parsing php in forms?

Anon

Hello, i had a question about how php works when parshing data. I have a select form that I want to add another option when the month roles around. Right now I have a for loop to calc. the distance between month numbers. And I keep getting a error message....aghhh. help!! here is the code that I am using (i am new to php so please excuse the messing coding)::: 🙂 And thanks in advance..........-alan

<?php

$hour = date("h");
$hour = $hour+3;
$min = date("i");

$ampm = date("a");

$docloc = date("mjy");
$folderloc = date("my");

$month = date("m");
$year = date("y");
$numbmon = $month-4;

print"<head><title>$folderloc/$docloc.html</title></head><body>";

print "$folderloc/";
print "$docloc.html <BR>";
print "$hour:$min$ampm";

print"<Br>Folder Selection    <form><select name=\"select\">
<option value=\"$folderloc/\"selected>$folderloc</option>";

for ($i=1; $i<$numbmon; i++){
$monther=i$+4;
print"<option value=\"$monther$year/\">$monther$year</option>;
}

print"</select></form><br>";

</body>

Is it not working because the loop is running while the html is parsing?

Anon

$month = date("m"); // $month = 07

try
$month = date("n"); // $month = 7

Alan,

you have problems with your for statement:

1) you have missed out the $ in i++
2) you have the $ after i in $monther=i$

for ($i=1; $i<$numbmon; i++){
$monther=i$+4;
print"<option value=\"$monther$year/\">$monther$year</option>;
}

Hope this helps
