I am creating a form right now. I am using the html SELECT tag.
<SELECT NAME="day_of_month">
The most number of days in a month is 31
I want the output to be <OPTION SELECTED>## based on the value of
$selected_day_of_month variable. For the days of the month where the
number is not selected the output I am desiring is
<OPTION>1
<OPTION>2
etc.
to be generated through PHP code
I already have a value the user submitted in a variable named
$selected_day_of_month from being stored in a mySQL table
Does anyone know how to do this in a few commands? I am wanting to
simplify
<?
if ( $selected_day_of_month == "1" ) }
<OPTION SELECTED>1
} ELSE {
<OPTION>1
}
if ( $selected_day_of_month == "2" ) }
<OPTION SELECTED>2
} ELSE {
<OPTION>2
}
?>
etc.
Dang that's painful!! Try this...
<?php
foreach (range(1, 31) as $day)
{
print '<option value="'.$day.'"';
if ($selected_day_of_month == $day)
print ' selected';
print '>'.$day.'</option>';
}
?>
I added a value to the options (you knew that was missing right?).
Obviously you need to output the <select ...> and </select> outside this
loop.
