Month Day Year - Pull Down Menu

Anon

Ok for the last year whenever I have a modify script for dates that contains 3 pulldowns(list/menus):

one for the month
one for the day
one for the year

I have this long "if else" statement after my while loops for each month, each day and each year.

This is for my start and end dates.

I also have an explode() piece of code to get it back into the pulldowns... bla bla bla

Has anyone found a shorter way to write MM/DD/YY into the list/menus?

Dunno if this'll come through or not, I've done something like this in the past, here's a quick example off the top of my head for the month, similar things can be done for day and year

hopefully this will come through ok

<?
$REQUEST['MONTH'] = 3;
?>
<SELECT NAME=MONTH>
<?
for($i=1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
echo "<OPTION VALUE=$i";
if($REQUEST['MONTH'] == $i) echo ' SELECTED';
echo ">". date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$i,1)) ."\n";
}
?>
</SELECT>

Actually I figured this out...

In case anyone is interested...

<?

function listbox_day ($name, $default=0) {
$result="<select name=\"$name\" size=1>\n";
for ($dayf=1;$dayf<=31;$dayf++) {
if ($default == $dayf) {$selected="selected";} else {$selected="";}
$result.="<option value=\"".date(d, mktime(0,0,0,0,$dayf,2000))."\" $selected>".date(j, mktime(0,0,0,0,$dayf,2000))."</option>\n";
}
$result.="</select>\n";
return $result;
}

function listbox_month ($name, $default=0) {
$result="<select name=\"$name\" size=1>\n";
for ($monthf=1;$monthf<=12;$monthf++) {
if ($default == $monthf) {$selected="selected";} else {$selected="";}
$result.="<option value=\"".date(m, mktime(0,0,0,$monthf,1,2000))."\" $selected>".date(M, mktime(0,0,0,$monthf,1,2000))."</option>\n";
}
$result.="</select>\n";
return $result;
}

function listbox_year ($name, $start, $end, $default=0) {
$result="<select name=\"$name\" size=1>\n";
for ($yearf=$end;$yearf>=$start;$yearf--) {
if ($default == $yearf) {$selected="selected";} else {$selected="";}
$result.="<option value=\"$yearf\" $selected>$yearf</option>\n";
}
$result.="</select>\n";
return $result;
}

function listbox_hour ($name, $default=0) {
$result="<select name=\"$name\" size=1>\n";
for ($hourf=1;$hourf<=12;$hourf++) {
if ($default == $hourf) {$selected="selected";} else {$selected="";}
$result.="<option value=\"".date(h, mktime($hourf,0,0,0,0,2000))."\" $selected>".date(g, mktime($hourf,0,0,0,0,2000))."</option>\n";
}
$result.="</select>\n";
return $result;
}

function listbox_min ($name, $default=0) {
$result="<select name=\"$name\" size=1>\n";
for ($minf=00;$minf<=59;$minf++) {
if ($default == $minf) {$selected="selected";} else {$selected="";}
$result.="<option value=\"".date(i, mktime(0,$minf,0,0,0,2000))."\" $selected>".date(i, mktime(0,$minf,0,0,0,2000))."</option>\n";
}
$result.="</select>\n";
return $result;
}
