[SOLVED] incrementing numbers within select tags

[webguync]

Hello I need to create an HTML select tag and add the days of the month from 1-31.

<select>

  <option value ="1">1</option>

  <option value ="2">2</option>

  <option value ="3">3</option>

  <option value ="4">4</option>

</select>

 

etc...

 

like that except I wanted to use php to programitically create the 1-31 instead of adding each option, and I need help with that part. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

<?php

echo "<select>\n";

for($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {
echo "\t<option value=\"{$i}\">{$i}</option>\n";
}

echo "</select>";

?>

 

Untested.

}

thanks, that worked as intended 

 

one more question, I want to do the same thing (more or less), but I want to display 1980-2007 with 2007 being at the top and 1980 at the bottom. I know it would be quite similar, but need some assistance

 

thanks gain

<?php

echo "<select>\n";

for($i = 2007; $i >= 1980; $i--) {
echo "\t<option name=\"{$i}\">{$i}</option>\n";
}

echo "</select>";

?>

that did the trick, thanks!

just to keep it current... switch 2007... with date(Y)... so you never have to go back and change it ;-)

not tested ok.

 

<?php

// set the post

$day=$_POST['day'];

$month=$_POST['month'];

$year=$_POST['year'];

?>

<?php 

// convert result as one using caternation

$result=$day.$month.$year;


// if set post submit.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

// if url condition are meet.

if($_GET['cmd']=="go"){

// show results.

echo $result;
}
}
?>


<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?cmd=go" method="POST">

Day

<br>

<select name="day">

<?php

for($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++) {

echo "<option value='$i'>$i</option>";

}

?>

</select>

<br>

Month

<br>

<select name="month">

<?php

$m=array("jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun",
"jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dec");

}
?>
</select>

<br>

There you go a little test for your database ok.

<?php

//database connection.

if(!isset($_GET['page'])){ 
    $page = 1; 
} else { 
    $page = $_GET['page']; 
} 

$max_results = 1; 

$from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results); 

//database query.

$query="select * from what_ever  DESC LIMIT $from, $max_results ";

$result=mysql_query($query);

while($rec=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

$point_query="select * from blogs where what_ever='what_evrer' ";

$point_result=mysql_query($point_query)or die(mysql_error());

while($p=mysql_fetch_assoc($point_result)){

// show the information	

}

$total_results = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM what_ever"),0); 

if($page > 1){ 
    
$prev = ($page - 1); 
  
echo "<div align='center'><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$prev\">Prev</a>"; 

} 

for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
    if(($page) == $i){ 
        echo "<font color='yellow'>$i</font> "; 
        } else { 
            echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\"></a> "; 
    } 
} 

if($page < $total_pages){ 
    $next = ($page + 1); 

// show other infomation.

} 
}
?>
