Dob dropdown list from the latest years down..

[Dennis_gull]

Hey, I use a dropdown menu for dob but I would like it to set the latest year (now) first and not the other way around but I cant seem to get it to work. This is how the code looks like now:

$today = getdate();
	$first_year = $today['year'] - 77; 
	$last_year = $today['year'] - 14;
	for ($i=$first_year; $i < $last_year; $i++) {
		$dob_year_arr[] = array('id' => sprintf('%02d', $i), 'text' => sprintf('%02d', $i));
	}

(thats the year part of the code)

 

I wish I could just change the < to > but it doesnt allow me too :angry:

May I ask why you would do it that way? ... because most people are not going to have been born in 2007.

 

The box defaults to the oldest date for the reason that most dob choices will be back 18 to 40 yrs or more.

[Dennis_gull]

Yeah but Im not going to let it start at 2007.

Wouldnt you think its easier to start from 1990 rather then 1930? :)

[insomniac2]

Yes I guess that would be cool. I will have to look into this and see if I can figure it out.

Does anyone else know how to fix this?
