Dynamic Date Pulldown menu

[Anon]

I need code to do the following:

Dynamically populate a dropmenu with a range of dates (3 days before current date and 7 days after current date) in the following format : 2002-07-02 (yyyy-mm-dd).

Let me know if you have anything that can do this.

<?php
$now=time();
$3_days_ago = $now - (86400*3);
?>
<SELECT name="
date"><OPTION SELECTED>
<?php
$year = date("Y",$3_days_ago);
$month = date("m",$3_days_ago);
$day = date("d",$3_days_ago);
echo "$year-$month-$day";
?>
</OPTION>
<?php
$next_day = $3_days_ago + 86400;
$first = "0";
while ($first < "10"){
$year = date("Y",$next_day);
$month = date("m",$next_day);
$day = date("d",$next_day);
$display = "$year-$month-$day";
printf(" <OPTION>%s</OPTION>\n",$display);
$first++;
$next_day += 86400;
}
?>
</SELECT>

That is off the top of my head, didn't test it, but should work the way you want it too.

Thanks for the code Hiccup, but could you look at it again and see why it is giving me the following error for the 3rd line of your script ($3_days_ago = $now - (86400*3)😉:

Error: Parse error: parse error, expecting T_VARIABLE' or'$'' in /projects/sunarchive/htdocs_0_10/addtool.php on line 29
