I want to build a select drop down that includes last year, the

easily hard code this or use a combination of the date and mktime
functions to populate the select. However, I'm looking for a more
elegant way of doing this.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
This works for me, simple and easy.
// Grabs current Year
$year=date("Y");
// Number of years you want total
$yearEnd=$year+10;
// Generate Drop Down
for($year=$year; $year <= $yearEnd; $year++) {
print "<option value=\"$year\">$year</option>";
}
Thanks. This was close, but it didn't account for the first option
being last year. I edited and ended up with this which works.
// Grabs current Year
$year=date("Y");
$yearFirst = $year-1;
// Number of years you want total
$yearEnd=$year+2;
// Generate Drop Down
echo "<select>\n";
for($year=$yearFirst; $year <= $yearEnd; $year++) {
print "<option value=\"$year\">$year</option>";
}
echo "</select>\n";
