PHP - Drop down

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
);				

PHP:

<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">
                            <?php
							    if($day == '')
								{
									$day=date(d, strtotime($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>
                    <select name="month" id="month" class="tyextfild validate-selection required">
						<?php
							if($month == '')
								{
									$month=date(m, strtotime($d_dob));
									
								}
						?>
                              <option value="01" <?php if(in_array('01',explode(',',$month))) echo 'selected="selected"';?> >Jan</option>

                            <?php

                                $gnrl->getDropdownList(array('1960','1961','1962','1963','1964','1965','1966','1967','1968','1969','1970','1971','1972','1973','1974','1975','1976','1977','1978','1979','1980','1981','1982','1983','1984','1985','1986','1987','1988','1989','1990','1991','1992','1993','1994','1995','1996','1997','1998','1999','2000','2001','2002','2003','2004','2005','2006','2007','2008','2009','2010','2011','2012'),$year);
                            ?>

                </select>
                    </td>

OMG.

Please start your code over again and do it as it should be.

For example your form should be like this

Year:
<select name="year">

$sel = 0; /* or the given value */
for ($x = 1960; $x < date("Y") + 10; $x++) {
    echo '<option value="<?=$x;?>" ' . ($sel == $x) ? ' selected="selected"' : '') . '>' . $x . '</option>';
}

PHP:

</select>

Year:
<select name="month">

$sel = 0; /* or the given value, remove the 0 if it is first (01, 02, 03 => 1, 2, 3) */
$a = array(1 => 'jan', 'feb', 'mar', 'apr', 'jun', 'jul', 'aug', 'sep', 'okt', 'nov', 'dec');
foreach ($a AS $number => $value){
    echo '<option value="<?=$number;?>" ' . ($sel == $number) ? ' selected="selected"' : '') . '>' . $value . '</option>';
}

PHP:

</select>


Day:
<select name="day">

$sel = 0; /* or the given value */
for ($x = 1; $x < 32; $x++) {
    echo '<option value="<?=$x;?>" ' . ($sel == $x) ? ' selected="selected"' : '') . '>' . $x . '</option>';
}

PHP:

</select>

See? less code, much easier to handle!

btw don't ever make a array from 1 to xx again as you did! USE http://php.net/range

$a = range("1", "999");

Have fun and learn!
