first of all I’m trying to have the dropdown menu send input value to the form.php and the dropdown menu is on the index.php

I have this drop down menu 

<select name="date" id="date" style="width:100px;" onchange="availablePeriodOfDay(this)">
    <option value="2011-08-21" >2011-08-21</option>
    <option value="2011-08-20" >2011-08-20</option>
    <option value="2011-08-19" >2011-08-19</option>
    <option value="2011-08-18" >2011-08-18</option>
    <option value="2011-08-17" >2011-08-17</option>
    <option value="2011-08-16" >2011-08-16</option>
    <option value="2011-08-15" >2011-08-15</option>
    <option value="2011-08-14" >2011-08-14</option>
</select>

this one is going back 8 days from the current day but if I want it to change the date automatic if the date changed to tomorrow 2011-08-22 and make the rest also change everytime automatically

will that be possible to do so?

    I think what you want to do there is generate it in PHP when the page is loaded – do you want something like this?

    <?php

  $numDaysToShow = 8;
  $_1day = 60 * 60 * 24; // 1 day in seconds (=86400)
  $start = time();
  $end = $start - ($_1day * $numDaysToShow); // 8 days ago
  $theSelect = "<select name=\"date\" id=\"date\" style=\"width:100px;\" onchange=\"availablePeriodOfDay(this)\">";
  for ($i = $start; $i > $end; $i -= $_1day) $theSelect .= "\n  <option value=\"".date('Ymd',$i)."\">".date('Y-m-d',$i)."</option>";
  $theSelect .= "\n</select>";

  print($theSelect);

?>
