Thanks, Larry. This was close, but didn't quite work. I played around
with the syntax and the following worked great.
$this_year = date('Y');
echo "<select>\n";
for ($i= $this_year-1; $i < $this_year+3; ++$i) {
echo "<option value='$i'";
if($i == $this_year)
echo "selected = 'selected'";
echo ">" . $i . "</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";

Obviously modify for however you're doing output. (Note that you
DO want to
have the redundant value attribute in there, otherwise some
Javascript things
don't work right in IE. Good habit to get into.) I don't think it
can
really get more simple and elegant.

I want to build a select drop down that includes last year, the
current year and 3 years into the future. Obviously, I could 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.
