You need to provide more information. You don't say HOW the user will select how many fields to display. Is the user going to make a selection and submit a form or are you expecting this to happen dynamically? If the latter, then you need JavaScript and you have posted this in the wrong forum.

 

I'm also a little confused by the code you posted. It seems you are alternating back and forth between a select field for year and another for month. So, if the user selects "3" do you want to show two year selections and one month selection or do you want to show three "sets" of year and month selections? I would think the latter, but your naming convention of the fields is odd.

His Sir thanks for your response, but first i apologized because you are right that this needs javascript..because i want this happen dynamically..could you give me any links or simple tutorials, suggestions to do this? you are right that if the user will input 3 it will display 3 sets of year, month and day...waiting your positive reply.....
