Can someone tell me how to display the all the years between date('Y') - 21 in a select box?

I can add them but can't figure how to subtract them...

 

It is for a birth year

 


<select class="athlete_input" name="dobY">
<option><? echo $_POST['dobY']; ?></option>
<?
$stop = (int)date('Y') -21;
for($y = date('Y'); $y < $stop; $y++){
echo '<option value="'.$y.'">'.$y.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>

 

Thank you!

In a for loop the first value is the starting point. The second value is the 'continue untill' and the final item is the iterator. For what your looking for, you need to lower the year untill the year is the stop year so...

 

for($y = date('Y'); $y > $stop; $y--){
