[PHP-DB] Date in a dropbox box

[Chris Payne]

Hi there everyone,

I have a form which displays 3 dropdowns, day, month and year, I have it displaying 
the default of the dropdown for month no problem, but how can I get it to select the 
current date (day) in the dropdown, but show 31 days nomatter how many days are in the 
month?  This is important even though it sounds odd :-)

so if it was the 5th of a month, it would show 5 as a default value, but allow you to 
select 1-4 before that and 6-31 after it.

Thanks everyone

Chris

Lots of ways you can do it.

$today = date('d');
for($x=1;$x=31;$x++)
{
echo 'option value=$x' . (($x==$today)?' selected':'') .
'$x/option';
}
