Yes, it is my code. The only thing was that I changed the label and name of the element because I didn't want to post the whole code (more than 500 lines)! The name used to be $i and the label $label. I don't think that it is necessary to post the whole code, but if you want to take a look at everything, I can gladly post the whole thing.

So you mean that 'format'=>'Y Y' is correct ? In this case, that's maybe wjat's giving you troubles. If what you want is 2 different year selects, you should use a group of 2 selects. It might also depend on the value in $i. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam PS: it is generally better accepted to write replies below the text of the original mail, not above...

I'm using PEAR's quickform. It is quite useful, but sometimes it also causes major headaches. Well, my problem at the moment is that I can't get the date element to work properly. My code is: $this->addElement('date', 'Birthdate', 'Date of Birth',

                  array('language'=>strtolower($_SESSION['language']),
                                             'format'=>'Y Y',
                                             'minYear'=>date('Y')-30,
                                             'maxYear'=>date('Y'),
                                             'addEmptyOption' => TRUE)
                                             );

This is obviously NOT your code (hint: 'format'). If your code is too precious to share, our time is too precious to waste.

Thanks for your reply. I am also using other date fields where the format is not 'Y Y'. For example there's the following code: $options = array(

            'language'  => 'en',
            'format'    => 'dMYHi',
            'addEmptyOption' => TRUE,
            'minYear'   => 2001,
            'maxYear'   => 2005,
            );

            $this->addElement('date', 'mydate', 'Choose date',$options);

It's the same problem here. QuickForm adds an empty option but it is added at the end of the select field and is not selected by default. Thoughts, anybody? Sam
