for() error?

[ki]

<select name="register_BirthdayYear"><?
for($i = date("Y") - 12; $i == date("Y") - 100; $i--) {
echo "<option value=\"".$i."\">".$i."</option>";
} ?>
</select>

im trying to make it go down from Current year - 12 then stop at current year - 100 then go down every year, but all it returns is null, any ideas?

<select name="register_BirthdayYear">
<?
$i = date("Y") - 12; 
while($i != date("Y") - 100) {
echo "<option value=\"".$i."\">".$i."</option>";
$i--;
} 
?>
</select>

I am not sure why your for loop didn't work, but that is another way to do it.

 

 

edit... I know why..

<select name="register_BirthdayYear"><?
for($i = date("Y") - 12; $i == date("Y") - 100; $i--) { // on this line it should be $i != date("Y") - 100;
echo "<option value=\"".$i."\">".$i."</option>";
} ?>
</select>

<select name="year">

 

<option value="">Year</option>

 

<?php for($i = date('Y') - 5, $min = $i - 95; $i >= $min; $i--): ?>

 

<option value="<?=$i?>"<?=(isset($_REQUEST['year']) && $_REQUEST['year'] == $i ? ' selected' : '')?>><?=$i?></option>

 

<?php endfor; ?>

<select name="register_BirthdayYear">
<?php

$year=date("Y");
$start=$year-12;
$end=$year-100;

for($i=$start;$i>=end;$i--) {
echo "<option value='$i'> $i </option>";
}
?>
</select>
