What is the best way to get the current year month & day into a dropdown box? I am doing this->
[php]<?php echo date('Y'); ?>[/php]
and so on for the month and day. It works fine if i just put text in place of the php code, but it is displaying nothing but a blank dropdown box. any suggestions?
Hey,
Sounds like the php code is not processed. Are you sure you saved your file with .php extension?

yes, it is saved as php. i save all my pages as php, not sure if thats a bad or good thing…
you shouldn’t need to store it in a variable but you might as well try it…
also do you have tags around
[php]
If you want day and month as well as the year
d = day (2 digit)
m = month (2 digit)
Y = year (4 digit)
[php]$date = date(“m/d/Y”);
echo $date;[/php]
returns “09/28/1012”
[php]$date = date(“Y/m/d”);
echo $date[/php]
returns “2012/09/28”
Are you still having problems with this?
whoops thought i hit topic solved on this one.
