Auto generate year session

[I-AM-OBODO]

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

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

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>";
    }

How can it be read from bottom, that is 2027-2028 be at the top? What is order by alternative in php

for ($year = $endYear; $year >= $startYear; $year--)

Reverse your for loop

Oops! In reverse! Thank you so much
