Time drop down in form


John01

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Total newbie to PHP. I have below code to allow entry of time (hh:mm);

<div id="username-wrapper" class="forminput_wrapper">
	<input type="text" name="fromtime[]" value="" placeholder="From Time (hh:mm)" class="forminput" />
</div>

How can I turn the input type into a drop down with predefined time values (01:00, 01:15, 01:30 etc) as well as letting user enter any time they want?

 

 

Thanks

 

Regards

How do you want the user to decide? Do you want them to give them both options at once? Have some sort of "custom" item in the list?

 

For the list itself, a simple for loop will do:

echo "<select>";
for ($m = 0; $m <= 24; $m += 0.25) {
	$hhmm = sprintf("%02u:%02u", floor($m), (60 * $m) % 60);
	echo "<option value='{$hhmm}'>{$hhmm}</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

You could use a <datalist>..</datalist>

<datalist id='timeoptions'>
    <option>1:00</option>
    <option>1:15</option>
    <option>1:30</option>
    <option>1:45</option>
    <option>2:00</option>
    <option>2:15</option>
    <option>2:30</option>
</datalist>

<input type="text" name="fromtime[]" value="" placeholder="From Time (hh:mm)" class="forminput" list="timeoptions" />
