[ecreative]

I have a date of birth script on my website and at the moment im faced with typing in about 100 dates ranging from 1900 to 2006 is their any way i could use php to create the range of dates in a form menu list?

Please anyone!! 🙂

Try range().

Like so:

function option_block($name,$select){
    print "<select name ='".$name."'>\n";
    foreach ($select as $key => $option){
        print "<option value='".$option."'>".$option."</option>\n";
    }
    print "</select>\n";
}


$year = range(1900, 2006);


option_block('year',$year);

Why wouldn't you make the range dynamic instead of static? I would assume he would otherwise be going in and changing the date range every year. I'd see something more like:

$datestamp = time();
$current_year = date("Y",$datestamp);
$year = range(1900, $current_year);

Because he/she didn't ask for it.
