Code to Edit YYYY in Form Dropdown Box

[dwappes]

I have a PHP string as follows:

 

selectList( "field_4_YYYY", $_POST["field_4_YYYY"], date("Y")-18, date("Y"), "YYYY", $style ) ;

 

This (the -18) allows my dropdown box to display the year going back to 1992, which is what I want. However, it also displays all the years to present, as in 2008, 2009 & 2010, which is what I don't want. I only want the available years in the dropdown box to display 1992, 1993, 1994 & 1995.

 

Can someone please show me what changes need to be made to this string to do that that will automatically update annually? I want the years to always remain at between 15 to 18 years back. Thanks you!

it's impossible to know for sure, since this function is user-defined (ie. not a native PHP function) and therefore we don't know how it's supposed to work. however, i'm going to take a stab and say that the parameter after date("Y")-18 is the upper boundary. try changing that one to date("Y")-15 and see what you get:

 

selectList( "field_4_YYYY", $_POST["field_4_YYYY"], date("Y")-18, date("Y")-15, "YYYY", $style ) ;
