Dropdown Menu Hellp PLEASE!!!

[QWERTYtech]

Okay,

  I have a page I'm working on in PHP and I need a simpler way to autopopulate a dropdown menu.  I have dropdown list that i need the numbers 00 to 59 populated without having to hand code it.  Can I do this?

<?php
echo  '<select name="dropdown">';
for ($i=0; $i<60; $i++) {
    printf ('<option value="%02d">%02d</option>', $i, $i);
}
echo '</select>';
?>
