List current and past years in select box

[djones]

I'm trying to list the current year and past X many years in a select box. I'm gett the current year printed for all...

 

<?php

$i = 0;

while ($i < 80) {

$y = date("Y") - 1;

echo '<option value="'.$y.'">'.$y.'</option>';

$i++;
}

?>

I think you meant to subtract $i and not 1... since $i is your variable, and 1 is always 1.

 

<?php

$i = 0;

while ($i < 80) {

$y = date("Y") - $i;

echo '<option value="'.$y.'">'.$y.'</option>';

$i++;
}

?>

I think a for loop would be more appropriate in this instance:

 

<?php

for ($year=date("Y"); $year>=(date("Y")-80); $year--) {
  echo "<option value=\"$year\">$year</option>\n";
}

?>
