Question

Ok i have this code to echo the if the values are selected how can i use this for a date dropdown list without creating a variable for each day?

if ($st_title[$i] == 'Mr') {
    $mr_select='selected="selected"';
    $mrs_select='';
    $ms_select='';  
} else if ($st_title[$i]=='Mrs') {
    $mr_select='';
    $mrs_select='selected="selected"';
    $ms_select='';  
} else {
    $mr_select='';
    $mrs_select='';
    $ms_select='selected="selected"';
}

I figured it out and just for reference here’s what I came up with:

for ($x=0; $x<=31; $x++){
$dobd[$x]='';
  if ($x ==$st_dobd){
      $dobd[$x]='selected="selected"';
      }else{
          $dobd[$x]='';
          }
}
for ($x=0; $x<=12; $x++){
$dobm[$x]='';
  if ($x ==$st_dobm){
      $dobm[$x]='selected="selected"';
      }else{
          $dobm[$x]='';
          }
}
for ($x=2000; $x>=1970; $x--){
$doby[$x]='';
  if ($x ==$st_doby){
      $doby[$x]='selected="selected"';
      }else{
          $doby[$x]='';
          }
}




                }

You can create an array with your dates and generate drop-down by this array, keys may be days (dates) and values 0 or 1 if selected.
