Question

I have an HTML page (index.php) with a drop down menu that contain numbers 1-20. Is there a simpler way of adding the options to the drop down menu rather than just adding each manually like:

<option value=1>1</option>
...
<option value=20>20</option>

Answer 1

As you already mention php in your tags, then using a for-loop when generating the web page would be possible:

for ($i = 1; $i<=20; $i++) {
    echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
}

You should further think about spending some more quotes to the value attribute as in my code above.
