i have this long code to show today's date & time in a form drop down lists. It does work fine but I was wondering if there's a simpler way to do it...?
I want to show all months, days, years (only a couple of years), all hours (24 hour format), all minutes and all seconds but have the current date/time selected in each drop down list.
<select name="event_month">
<?
$arr_m = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");
$date_m = date(m);
$count = 1;
$months = 12;
do{
$month = $arr_m[$count-1];
if ($date_m == $count) {
echo ("<option value='$month' selected='selected'>$month</option>");
} else {
echo ("<option value='$month'>$month</option>");
}
$count++;
}while($count<=$months);
?></select>
<select name="start-day">
<?
$date_d = date(d);
$day=1;
$days = 31;
do{
if($date_d == $day){
echo ("<option value='$day' selected='selected'>$day</option>");
}else{
echo ("<option value='$day'>$day</option>");
}
$day++;
}while($day<=$days);
?></select>
<select name="start-year"><?
$date_y = date(Y);
$year =intval($date_y);
$years = $year+2;
do{
if($date_y == $year){
echo ("<option value='$year' selected='selected'>$year</option>");
}else{
echo ("<option value='$year'>$year</option>");
}
$year++;
}while($year<=$years);
?></select>
<select name="start-hour"><?
$date_h = date(H);
$hour = 1;
$hours = 24;
do{
if($date_h == $hour){
echo ("<option value='$hour' selected='selected'>$hour</option>");
}else{
echo ("<option value='$hour'>$hour</option>");
}
$hour++;
}while($hour<=$hours);
?></select>
<select name="start-min"><?
$date_min = date(i);
$min = 1;
$mins = 60;
do{
if($date_min == $min){
echo ("<option value='$min' selected='selected'>$min</option>");
}else{
echo ("<option value='$min'>$min</option>");
}
$min++;
}while($min<=$mins);
?></select>
<select name="start-sec"><?
$date_sec = date(s);
$sec = 1;
$secs = 60;
do{
if($date_sec == $sec){
echo ("<option value='$sec' selected='selected'>$sec</option>");
}else{
echo ("<option value='$sec'>$sec</option>");
}
$sec++;
}while($sec<=$secs);
?></select>
-- UPDATE -- here's the cleaner version - thanks!
