[SOLVED] Auto Populate Date in Drop Down

[tapupartforpres]

I search the site and found nothing. 

 

I have an HTML form with a day, month and year drop down.  What is the best and easiest way to to auto populate the date on the dropdown?  I tried one and it didn't work.  Any help?  Thanks.

Depends how dynamic you need it to be. I often use a method like this...

 

echo '<select name="day">';
for($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
   echo '<option value="' . $i . '" />' . $i . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

echo '<select name="month">';
for($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
   echo '<option value="' . $i . '" />' . date("F", mktime(1, 1, 1, $i, 1, 2000)) . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

echo '<select name="day">';
$yearcount = 100;
$start = (int)date('Y');
$end = $start - $yearcount;
for($i = $start; $i > $end; $i--) {
   echo '<option value="' . $i . '" />' . $i . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

I got it to work in with some javascript.  Thanks though.
