I-AM-OBODO Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Hi all I am trying to create something like 2023-2024 in a loop so that each year it generate the session for me. I don't want to manually add it. What I did did not work (though I know it won't work but just did it anyway) $cur_yr = date('Y'); $nxt_yr = date('Y', strtotime('+1 year,); $cur_session = $cur_yr."-".$nxt_yr; $strt_session = "2020-2021"; for($i = $strt_session; $i<= $cur_session; $i++){ echo $i; } Mine won't work. But how can I get it done. Thanks in anticipation Edited August 2, 2023 by I-AM-OBODO Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/317148-auto-generate-year-session/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Barand Posted August 2, 2023 Solution Share Posted August 2, 2023 Try this. You don't need date arithmetic for years. $start = 2020; $end = 2029; for ($y=$start; $y<=$end; $y++) { $session = sprintf('%d-%d', $y, $y+1); echo $session . '<br>'; } output 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023 2023-2024 2024-2025 2025-2026 2026-2027 2027-2028 2028-2029 2029-2030 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/317148-auto-generate-year-session/#findComment-1610867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-AM-OBODO Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I found a way around to get it done as well. $startYear = 2020; $endYear = 2024; for($year = $startYear; $year <= $endYear; $year++){ $nextYear = $year + 1; echo "<option value='$year-$nextYear'>$year-$nextYear</option>"; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/317148-auto-generate-year-session/#findComment-1610869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is order by alternative in php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/317148-auto-generate-year-session/#findComment-1610872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 for ($year = $endYear; $year >= $startYear; $year--) Reverse your for loop Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/317148-auto-generate-year-session/#findComment-1610873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
