soycharliente Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Can you follow this? <select name="Month"> <option value="">Month</option> <?php $i = 1; while ($i <= 12) { $selected = ($picked) ? '' : ((isset($ymd)) ? (($m == $i) ? ' selected="selected"' : '') : ((date('m') == $i) ? ' selected="selected"' : '')); $picked = (empty($selected)) ? FALSE : TRUE; echo '<option value="'.$i.'"'.$selected.'>'.date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$i++)).'</option>'; } ?> </select> Also, as you can see, the second ternary is executed if nothing has been picked. But let's say the first option matches, $picked is set to TRUE, and the second one doesn't, $picked goes back to being FALSE. What can I do to make it not run anymore once $picked has been set to TRUE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeNDoLLA Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Put a if statement somewhere inside it to check whether $picked is true and if it is do a break; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The whole point of your $picked variable is to optimize out repeated executions of that first line in the loop, right? If that's the case I'd say don't bother. The loop executes 12 times and doesn't do anything so computationally expensive that you need to optimize out a big chunk. Anyways I'd just write it like this: <?php $select = ' <select name="Month"> <option value="">Month</option>'; $selectedMonth = isset( $ymd ) ? $m : date( 'm' ); for( $i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++ ) { $select .= sprintf( '<option value="%s"%s>%s</option>', $i, $i == $selectedMonth ? ' selected="selected' : '', date( 'F', mktime( 0, 0, 0, $i ) ) ); } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
