My personal choice is: $last_day = 31; //calculated from date()/mktime() etc for ($day = 1; $day <= $last_day; $day++){ $selected = $chosen_day == $ ? 'selected="selected"' : ''; echo " <option $selected>$day</option>\n"; } I don't *think* the w3c requires/recommends a value= in there, if the label *IS* the value, but can live with it either way... echo " <option value=\"$day\" $selected>$day</option>\n"; is fine. I used to be distracted by \" but I've grown so used to it that it no longer bothers me in my reading flow, unless it's excessive and the expression spans multiple lines. Separation of logic and presentation is all very well, but this isn't even business logic. It's "presentation logic" which, to me, shouldn't be crammed into the complex business portion of my application. I'd much rather have the complex business logic focus on the application needs than the minutae of date formatting. It's all down to personal choice, though. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
