hi,

I have a form that has 2 lists, first one has the months from Jan to Dec which i am done with, for the second list i want to have years from current year for other say 5 years. Example, we are in 2020 so i should have the list populate 2020,2021,2022,2023,2024 and next year it should show 2021-2025, how to do that.

Here is what i have as HTML: 

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reportstyle.css">
</head>

<body>
	
				<div class="form-wrapper">
					<form action="reportanalysis.php" method="post">
					
					<div class="form-item">
						<h4>Select a month:</h4>
						<select id="months" name="months" required="required">
						<option selected="selected" value="chose">Choose one option...</option>
						<option value="jan">Jan - 01</option>
						<option value="feb">Feb - 02</option>
						<option value="mar">Mar - 03</option>
						<option value="apr">Apr - 04</option>
						<option value="may">May - 05</option>
						<option value="jun">Jun - 06</option>
						<option value="jul">Jul - 07</option>
						<option value="aug">Aug - 08</option>
						<option value="sep">Sep - 09</option>
						<option value="oct">Oct - 10</option>
						<option value="nov">Nov - 11</option>
						<option value="dec">Dec - 12</option>
						</select>
					</div>
					
					<div class="form-item">
						<h4>Select a year:</h4>
						<select id="years" name="years" required="required">
						<option selected="selected" value="chose">Choose one option...</option>
						<option value="2020">2020</option>
						<option value="2021">2021</option>
						<option value="2022">2022</option>
						<option value="2023">2023</option>
						<option value="2024">2024</option>
						</select>
					</div>
					
					<div class="button-panel">
						<center><button type="submit" name="reporting" class="buttonstyle">Generate Graph Report</button></center>
					</div>
					
					<div class="reminder">
						<p><a href="home.php">Return to Main Menu</a>
					</div>
					
					</form>
				</div>
				

</body>
</html>
