date loop?

[dreams4000]

Hey all, I have a date loop that I would like to use for a select list, but I want the selected date to stay selected once you click submit (as it takes you back to the same page once you submit). I cant seem to get this one to run.. The dates transfer once the page is submitted and I can echo the data and it looks correct, but the dates are never selected.. any ideas?

			for($j = 3; $j < 9; $j++) {
	$year =  "200".$j;

		$timestamp_date = $year."0400000000";


	if ('$timestamp_date' == '$fisyr_select') {

	echo "<option name='fisyr_select' value='$timestamp_date' selected>Selected Year, $year</option>";				
	} 

	echo "<option name='fisyr_select' value='$timestamp_date'>Listed Years, $year</option>";
	}

		echo "</select></td>";

This should be pretty simple. Pseudocode:
Put

if ($dateselected == $dateinyourloop) echo " SELECTED";

in the appropriate spot in your select tag.

Thanks for the post. Yeah I just went through and triple checked the code before coming back here.. it was just the ' ' around the two vars. After I removed them, the above code worked snazzy. Thanks for the help!
