show a year in dropdown menu?

[bliss322]

i apologize for what i'm sure is basic, but i'm a new at php (former asp programmer)

i need to list a year of dates in an option menu, starting with the current date. i can get today's date, sure, but now i need to show the rest of them.

help?

thanks

Hi,

Use the date and mktime functiones (Also see the manual!):

$today: = mktime (0,0,0,date("m") ,date("d"),date("Y"));

$tomorrow = mktime (0,0,0,date("m") ,date("d")+1,date("Y"));

$anyday :

while ($x LT 365)
{
mktime (0,0,0,date("m") ,date("d")+$x,date("Y"));
$x++
}

Or something along those lines.

Hope it helps?

yeah, that worked, thanks!

and, i still had to go to the manual to work out converting the unix date into something readable. so it worked out all around!

thanks again
