Hours:Minutes drop downs

[John01]

Hi

 

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 change the input type above into two drop downs; one each for hours and minutes and then join the user entered hh and mm values into a single hh:mm value?

 

Thanks

 

Regards

Use two <select> inputs with the relevant hours and minutes as <options>. Then on the page that receives the data, concatenate the two values with a colon.

You have got an elegant solution for this from your other post.

 

But, if you want to get hours and minutes into separate dropdown, we can do it something like this,

<select name="hour">
<?php
 for ($i=0; $i<=23; $i++){
   $i = sprintf('%02d', $i);
   echo "<option value='".$i."'>" . $i ."</option>\n";
 }
?>
</select>

<select name="minutes">
<?php
 for ($i=0; $i<=59; $i++){
   $i = sprintf('%02d', $i);
   echo "<option value='".$i."'>" . $i ."</option>\n";
 }
?>
</select>
