How To Create A Loop For This Dropdown Menu?

And, would a loop be more efficient then listing them out one by one?

Solution 1:

If it's not more efficient, it's certainly more readable and reusable, which is far more important.

<selectname="birthdayYear" ><optionvalue="0000">Year:</option><?phpfor(var$x = year(); $x >= 1900; $x--) {
            var$selected = "";
            if($x == $birthdayYear) {
                $selected = " selected = 'selected'";
            }
            echo("<option value="$x"$selected>$x</option>");
        }
    ?></select>

In short, my hair is a bird.

Solution 2:

Basically, you will :

• Deal with the 0000 specific line yourself,
• and then, have a for() loop from 2011 to 1900

The loop could look a bit like this :

for ($year=2011 ; $year>=1900 ; $year--) {
    echo'<option value="' . $year . '"';
    if ($year == $birthdayYear) {
        echo'selected="selected"';
    }
    echo'>' . $year . '</option>' . PHP_EOL;
}

Of course, the 2011 year should probably not be hard-coded -- take a look at date() for a possible way of getting the current year.

Solution 3:

<selectname="birthdayYear" ><optionvalue="0000"<?phpecho$birthdayYear == '0000' ? 'selected="selected"' : ''; ?>>Year:</option><?phpfor($i=date('Y'); $i>1899; $i--) {
    $selected = '';
    if ($birthdayYear == $i) $selected = ' selected="selected"';
    print('<option value="'.$i.'"'.$selected.'>'.$i.'</option>'."\n");
}
?></select>

And, would a loop be more efficient then listing them out one by one?

I don't think you have to worry about efficiency. Using a loop just looks cleaner it will be easier to maintain I think.

Solution 4:

for ($x=(int)date("Y"); $x>=1900; $x=$x--) {
    echo "<option value=\"", $x, "\"", ($birthdayYear==$x) ?" selected=\"selected\"" : "", ">", $x, "</option>"
}

This has the added bonus that you don't have to update it every year.

Solution 5:

Try this:

<selectname="birthdayYear" ><?phpif($year == '0000') {
    echo'<option value="0000" selected="selected">0000</option>';
} else {
    echo'<option value="0000">0000</option>';
}
for($year = intval(date('Y')); $year > 1900; $year --) {
    if($year == $birthdayYear) {
        echo'<option value="'.$year.'" selected="selected">'.$year.'</option>';
    } else {
        echo'<option value="'.$year.'">'.$year.'</option>';
    }
}
?></select>
