Setting default date drop down to --:--:----

[dc_jt]

Hi

 

Ive got the following drop down which works perfectly, although the default date is set to todays date. Could you please advise me on how to set it to show -- -- ---- instead of 31 05 2007?

 

Thanks

 

First part which sets is to todays date

/***** End Date *****/
$Endtoday = getdate();
$Endday = $Endtoday['mday'];
$Endyear = $today['year'];
//To default to yesterday:
//$day -= 1;
//Otherwise, todays date:
$Endday == 1;
$Endmonth = $Endtoday['mon'];
$Endmtharr = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

$Enddate = str_replace(" ","/",formatDate($oObj->end_date));
$EndaDate = explode("/",$Enddate);

$EndaYear = (int)$EndaDate[2];
$EndaMonth =(int)$EndaDate[1];
$EndaDay = (int)$EndaDate[0];
/************************/

 

The date loop

 

<tr>
		<tr>
<td width="28%"><strong>End Date</strong></td>
<td><select name="Endsdated" class="fmgreynormal">  
<? 
for ($i=1;$i<=31;$i++)
{?><?
echo "<option value=\"$i\"";
if ($_GET['iOfferId'] && formatDate($oObj->end_date) != '00/00/0000')
{
	if ($i == $EndaDay) echo " selected";
	echo ">".printf(">%02d</option>",$i);
} else {
	if ($i == $Endday) echo " selected";
	echo ">".printf(">%02d</option>",$i);
}
}
?> 
</select>

<select name="Endsdatem" class="fmgreynormal">  
<? 
for ($i=1;$i<=12;$i++)
{?><?
echo "<option value=\"$i\"";
if ($_GET['iOfferId'] && formatDate($oObj->end_date) != '00/00/0000')
{
	if ($i == $EndaMonth) echo " selected";
	echo ">".printf(">%02d</option>",$i);
} else {
	if ($i == $Endmonth) echo " selected";
	echo ">".printf(">%02d</option>",$i);
}
}
?> 
</select> 
  
<select name="Endsdatey" class="fmgreynormal">  
<?php
for ($i=date('Y')-1;$i<=date('Y')+2;$i++)
    {?>
  <?php echo "<option value=\"$i\"";
  if ($_GET['iOfferId'] && formatDate($oObj->end_date) != '00/00/0000')
  {
  	if ($i == $EndaYear) echo " selected";
  	echo ">$i</option>";
  } else {
  	if ($i == $Endyear) echo " selected";
  	echo ">$i</option>";
  }
    }
?>

</select>   </td>
						</tr>							
	</td>
</tr>

Anyone???

Although I didn't understand your code well(If everything is same in both if and else then why you are using if ?????)

---------------------------------------------------------

You can try something like this

<?php
for ($i=date('Y')-1;$i<=date('Y')+2;$i++)
    {
		echo "<option value=\"$i\">$i</option>";
    }
echo "<option value=\"--\" selected>--</option>";
?>

They are not the same.

 

This gets the default (todays date)

$today = getdate();
$day = $today['mday'];
//To default to yesterday:
//$day -= 1;
//Otherwise, todays date:
$day == 1;
$month = $today['mon'];
$mtharr = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
$year = $today['year'];

 

This gets the date set in the database (for example if you are editing something and the end date has already been set)

$date = str_replace(" ","/",formatDate($oObj->start_date));
$aDate = explode("/",$date);

$aYear = (int)$aDate[2];
$aMonth =(int)$aDate[1];
$aDay = (int)$aDate[0];

 

formatDate($oObj->start_date basically takes the date from the mysql database and turns it into a dd/mm/yyyy format

An alternative way I have done for the year is this:

 

 <select name="Endsdatey" class="fmgreynormal">
                                  	<option value="0000" <? if ($form_sdatey == '0000'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>----</option>
                                    <option value="2007" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2007'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2007</option>
                                    <option value="2008" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2008'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2008</option>
                                    <option value="2009" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2009'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2009</option>
                                    <option value="2010" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2010'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2010</option>
                                    <option value="2011" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2011'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2011</option>
                                    <option value="2012" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2012'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2012</option>
                                    <option value="2013" <? if ($form_sdatey == '2013'){ echo "selected='selected'";}?>>2013</option>
                                  </select>

 

However when I get to 2013 Ill have to redo the code, anyway I can put this into a loop?

 

Thanks
