PHP - Drop down

[ElitePirate]

Hi

I have one date field drop down :

$day = $_POST['day'];
$mon = $_POST['month'];
$year = $_POST['year'];
$dob = $year . "-" . $mon . "-" . $day;
$ins = array(
'd_dob' => $dob
); 

<tr>
                    <td align="left" valign="middle">Date Of Birth<span class="astrikrequired">*</span>: </td>
                    <td align="left" valign="middle">
                    <select name="day" id="day" class="tyextfild validate-selection required">

                                {
                                    $day=date(d, strtotime($d_dob));
                                }
                                $gnrl->getDropdownList(array('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11','12','13','14','15','16','17','18','19','20','21','22','23','24','25','26','27','28','29','30','31'),$day);

                </select>
                    </td>
                  </tr>

I don't understand your code but if you change the id & name of the select staement form day, month, year to 01,02,03 for each like day01 , month01 & year01 & so forth it should do 3 of them..

When using different variables you should also use different DB tables.

I know your thread is kinda old but I worked this up anyways.

You can try it out here using the following url:
http://inputout.org/sandbox/dropdown.php

the url will accept 'd', 'm', and 'y' as parameters
ex: http://inputout.org/sandbox/dropdown...27&m=04&y=1978

will display 27, April, 1978 in the select boxes
if nothing is passed, it will default to 1, 01, 1960

you would of course, replace the GETs with the values from your database or some POST results

hope this helps.
