Drop Down Date

[8mycsh]

I have 3 drop downs. One has the months, the other has days and the last years.

Its for appointments and I need it to be selected like this but is it possible to call up todays date in all 3 fields.

If so what would the coding be used if so? Or is there a tutorial or something I can use / view.

Thanks

Something like this....

$c_month = date("m");
$c_day = date("d");
$c_year = date("Y");

echo "<select name=\"month\">";
echo "<option></option>";
while($i<12;$=0;$i++)
{

echo "<option">

Probably a million ways to do this, but here's what I would do

$months = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");

echo "<select name=\"month\">";
for($i=0;$i<count($months);$i++) {
   echo "<option value=".$months[$i]." ";
   if($months[$i] == date("M")) {
      echo "selected";
   }
   echo ">".$months[$i]."</option>";
}

echo "</select>
      <br>
      <select name=\"day\">";

for($i=1;$i<32;$i++) {
   echo "<option value=".$i." ";
   if($i == date("d")) {
      echo "selected";
   }
   echo ">".$i."</option>";
}

echo "</select>
      <br>
      <select name=\"year\">";

for($i=2000;$i<(date("Y")+5);$i++) {
   echo "<option value=".$i." ";
   if($i == date("Y")) {
      echo "selected";
   }
   echo ">".$i."</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

here's another way to skin the cat.

<?php
$months = range(1,12);
$days   = range(1,31);
$years  = range((date('Y')-5),(date('Y')+5));

$monthDD = "Month: <select>";
foreach ( $months as $mon ){
    $monthDD .= "<option value=\"$mon\"";
    if ( date('n') == $mon ){ $monthDD .= " selected"; }
    $monthDD .= ">" . date('M',mktime(0,0,0,$mon,1,date('Y'))) . "</option>\n";
}//end foreach
$monthDD .= "</select><br>";
print "<form>\n$monthDD\n</form>\n";
?>

I'll let you figure out the rest for day and year.
