<?
print("<select name = 'minute'>");
$x = 0;
while ($x++ != 60)
{
print("<option>");
print(date("i",mktime(0,$x,0,0,0,0)));
print("</option>");
}
print("</select>");
?>

Only returns the value "59" into the drop-down menu... everything looks okay to me... what's going wrong?

Try this:

<?
print("<select name = 'minute'>");
$x = 0;
while ($x++ != 60)
{
print("<option>");
print(date("i",mktime(0,$x)));
print("</option>");
//$x++;
}
print("</select>");
?>

the after the 3 zero after the $x was causing it to go crazy. I am not shure exactly why though. The code above should work though.

Hope that helps

Well, first of all, I believe that it is extremely unnecessary to use mktime or date. Try just doing:

print("<select name='minutes'>");
for ($x = 0; $x < 60; $x++) {
print("<option value='$x'>$x</option>");
}
print("</select>");

It's much cleaner, and still gets you what you are looking for. It is also better style to assign a value to each option, to avoid confusion later. Hope that helps!
