...and if you wanted to go an extra step you could try an alternate
syntax of the exact same code:
<?php
foreach (range(1, 31) as $day)
print '<option value="' . $day . '"' . ($selected_day_of_month
== $day ? ' selected' : '') . '>' . $day . '</option>';
?>
Either way, Stut is correct. Don't type this out 31 times unless you
really really really like to type. ;-)

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.
