[RESOLVED] help with php generated "<options>"

[jl9148]

how do i make it so the below code will be outputed like
<option>1</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>4</option> etc...

i just want to manually add in the numbers between 1-31

im guessing it will be like: ( "1", "2", "3" ) and so on...

if ( $user_info[bday_day] == 0 ) {
echo "<option>-</option>";
}
for ( $x = 1; $x <= 31; $x++ ) {
if ( $x == $user_info[bday_day] ) {
echo "<option selected value='$x'>$x</option>";
} else {
echo "<option value='$x'>$x</option>";
}
}

I'm not sure what you're asking: the code sample you provided looks like it should work, other than throwing parser notices for not quoting the string literal "bday_day" as the index to $user_info. Is it not working right, is it throwing some other error, or am I missing the point of your question?

no,, this code is working properly. it outputs it as 1, 2, ... 30, 31 which is great.

however, i want to manually type in 1, 2, ... 30, 31 instead of it doing it for me like it is right here ==> ( $x = 1; $x <= 31; $x++ )

I have no idea why you'd want to manually type in the values, but assuming you have a good reason, you could do:

foreach(array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,
             17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31) as $day)
{
  echo "<option>$day</option>\n";
}

thanks, this is what i basically did

$bday_day_array = array ( "-", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30", "31" );
foreach ( $bday_day_array as $var ) {
if ( $var == $user_info[bday_day] ) {
echo "<option selected value='$var'>$var</option>";
} else {
echo "<option value='$var'>$var</option>";
}
}
