Year Generation

[Pete_Bekisz]

Greets,

I'm trying to generate a list of years between 13 years ago, and 100 years ago from 13 years ago, and then put those years in a dropdown (hopefully in reverse order, but, I'm not picky lol). Here's the code that I came up with which needless to say isn't working.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

$this_year = date(Y);
$years_ago = $this_year - 13;
$max_year = $years_ago - 101;

$year_dropdown .= "<select name=\"year\">";

for ($i=$max_year;$i>$years_ago;$i++) {
 if ($bd_y == $i) { $year_dropdown .= "<option value=\"$i\" selected>$i</option>"; }
 else { $year_dropdown .= "<option value=\"$i\">$i</option>"; }
}

$this_year = date(Y);

I'm not entirely sure that this is correct. Better use "" around Y, so

 $this_year = date("Y"); 

for ($i=$max_year;$i>$years_ago;$i++)

Here's an error, it should be

for ($i=$max_year;$i<$years_ago;$i++)

Then

for ($i=$max_year;$i<$years_ago;$i++)
 {?>
  <option value="<? echo $i; ?>">
  <?
  }
