If I'm reading this right, you need to do something like this on your form page: <form ....> <?php for ($i=1; $i<=20; $i++): ?> <select name="date_year[<?php echo $i ?>]"> ... </select> <select name="date_month[<?php echo $i ?>]"> ... </select> ... <?php endfor; ?> </form> and then your receiving page will have arrays called $_POST['date_year'], $_POST['date_month'], etc (or the equivalent globals if you've chosen the insecure register_globals On route).
