How to run year in loop?

[seaminem]

Date of Barth ::        
                          <select name="RegYear">
								<?php
									for ($i=0; $i<=100; $i++)
									{
										SelectedYear="";
										range (1900,date("Y"));
									}
								?>
                          </select>

By using this code ... HOw to print year in drop down box?

I'm doing the form that allows user to choose their birthday.

Define your range (since most people that are 106 years old aren't exactly going to be online on forums....

$start = '1940';

Then, just loop through with a nice for() loop:

for($i=0; $start+$i<=date('Y'); $i++)
{
  $years = $start+$i;
  echo '<option value="'.$years.'">'.$years.'</option>';
}

Now, it's just a matter of properly wrapping it:

echo 'Date of Birth ::       <select name="RegYear">';
$start = '1940';
for($i=0; $start+$i<=date('Y'); $i++)
{
  $years = $start+$i;
  echo '<option value="'.$years.'">'.$years.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

There is an easier way, but I cant' think of it....
