Value selected date.

[r00ttap]

Maybe I've been starring at code too long but is there any reason why this wouldn't work?

 

I have a menu for the Year, Month, and Day and none seem to be working but I'll post the year as an example.

 

<select name="year">
<option selected value="<?php echo date(Y); ?>"><?php echo date(Y); ?></option>
<option value="2009">2009</option>
<option value="2010">2010</option>
</select>

 

It works as much as the current year being displayed by default but if I submit the form without touching the drop down menu it won't send the year to the database but if I manually select the year it will work.

 

What am I missing?

<?php
print "<select name=\"year\">";
print "<option value=\"<?php echo 'date(Y)' echo 'selected';?><?php echo date(Y);?></option>";
print "<option value=\"2009\">2009</option>";
print "<option value=\"2010\">2010</option>";
print "</select>";
?>

 

Thats should do it

I think it should be like this:

<option selected="selected" value="<?php echo date(Y); ?>"><?php echo date(Y); ?></option>

Hi

 

Nothing jumps out at me. Only issue I can think of (and never tried it so no idea if it would cause an issue) is that you have a duplicate value (ie, you have used todays year and listed 2009 as well).

 

All the best

Must be the way you're using POST.  We would need to see the processing part.  I used this code and it outputs "2009" to the browser when I don't select anything...

 

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  echo $_POST['year'];
}
?>
</pre>
<form action="<?php%20echo%20%24_SERVER%5B'PHP_SELF'%5D;%20?>" method="POST">
;
;
2009;
2010;

Oh, and why do you have date(Y) and 2009?
