Output loop results in descending order??

[newb]

How can I make this output in descending order from greatest to least? Right now, it appears like:

 

1940

1941

1942

1943

1944

etc...

 

i'd like it to be like

 

2012

2011

2010

2009

etc.. until it gets to 1940

 

any ideas?

 

here is my code:

 

							
								<?
								$i = 1939;
							while ($i < 2012) {
							$i++;
							echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
							}

								?>

You could swap the 1939 and 2012, then have the variable decrement?

$i = 2012;
while($1 > 1939){
$i--;
echo 'whatever';
}
