when making a form in html where one has to select the year of birth is there a way to automate the values instead of writing all those values for example from year 1920-2018?

You could use <input type="date">

Yes. PHP. This is probably the older method. Go with the other suggestions. This code us useful for populating option menus with other data though. https://code.sololearn.com/wqBEj3P5Nq0E/?ref=app function option_menu() { $html = "<select>"; for ($year = 1920; $year <= 2018; $year++) { $html .= '<option id="' . $year . '">' . $year . '</option>'; } $html .= "</select>"; return $html; }

JoeMbugua Go with the type="date" solution for sure. I don't think that was available when I first learned HTML back in the day! It's a much better solution. Good luck with your project â˜ș

Niush sitaula Apologies for my outdated solution. Back in the day we had to create that all ourselves. I must brush up on the updates! It's great learning off others on here.
