I wrote the following function to show a series of drop down boxes to select the date. When provided
with a timestamp, that date is selected by default, when none is provided, the current date is
selected.
function chooseDate($timestamp = ""){
if($timestamp == ""){
$timestamp = time();
}
$months = array(null, 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr',
'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep',
'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
unset($months[0]);
print_r($months);
$out = '<select name="month">';
foreach($months as $key => $month){
if($month == date('M', $timestamp)){
$out .= '<option value="'.$key.'"
selected="selected">'.$month.'</option>';
}else{
$out .= '<option
value="'.$key.'">'.$month.'</option>';
}
}
$out .= '</select><select name="days">';
for($i = 1; $i <= 32; $i++){
if($i == date('j', $timestamp)){
$out .= '<option value="'.$i.'"
selected="selected">'.$i.'</option>';
}else{
$out .= '<option
value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
}
}
$out .= "</select><select name='year'>";
for($i = date('Y'); $i >= 1970; $i--){
if($i == date('Y', $timestamp)){
$out .= '<option value="'.$i.'"
selected="selected">'.$i.'</option>';
}else{
$out .= '<option
value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
}
}
$out .= "</select>";
return $out;
}
Usage is simple:
echo chooseDate(); // Will select current date
echo chooseDate(1149566400); // Will select June 6th, 2006
