[SOLVED] Looping date problem

[rvdb86]

I really hope this is not a case of working with code for the whole day and I have failed to spot an obvious mistake but I am trying to out put a list of the next 10 years (eg 2009, 2010....2018, 2019)

 

heres my code:

<?php
				$y = date('Y');
				$l = 1;
				while ($l <= 10){
				?>
                    <option value="<?php echo $y; ?>"><?php echo $y; ?></option>
                    <?php
				$plusOne = strtotime(date("Y", strtotime($y)) . " +1 year");
				$y = date('Y', $plusOne);
				$l++;
				}
				?>

 

It only increases the date to from 2009 to 2010 and then repeats 2010 nine times 

 

TIA for any suggestions!

Your $plusOne variable is not increasing, therefore returning the same result each time. You will need to change the +1 year to include the $l variable...

 

<?php
				$y = date('Y');
				$l = 1;
				while ($l <= 10){
				?>
                    <option value="<?php echo $y; ?>"><?php echo $y; ?></option>
                    <?php
				$plusOne = strtotime(date("Y", strtotime($y)) . " +$l years");
				$y = date('Y', $plusOne);
				$l++;
				}
				?>

great thanks for your help. works perfectly.

I hadn't thought of that, I was expecting the y variable to contain the increased date and therefore I only increased it by 1 each time.

 

Anyway thanks again!
