    <p>i have this long code to show today's date &amp; time in a form drop down lists. It does work fine but I was wondering if there's a simpler way to do it...?</p> <p>I want to show all months, days, years (only a couple of years), all hours (24 hour format), all minutes and all seconds but have the current date/time selected in each drop down list.</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="event_month"&gt; &lt;? $arr_m = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"); $date_m = date(m); $count = 1; $months = 12; do{ $month = $arr_m[$count-1]; if ($date_m == $count) { echo ("&lt;option value='$month' selected='selected'&gt;$month&lt;/option&gt;"); } else { echo ("&lt;option value='$month'&gt;$month&lt;/option&gt;"); } $count++; }while($count&lt;=$months); ?&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="start-day"&gt; &lt;? $date_d = date(d); $day=1; $days = 31; do{ if($date_d == $day){ echo ("&lt;option value='$day' selected='selected'&gt;$day&lt;/option&gt;"); }else{ echo ("&lt;option value='$day'&gt;$day&lt;/option&gt;"); } $day++; }while($day&lt;=$days); ?&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="start-year"&gt;&lt;? $date_y = date(Y); $year =intval($date_y); $years = $year+2; do{ if($date_y == $year){ echo ("&lt;option value='$year' selected='selected'&gt;$year&lt;/option&gt;"); }else{ echo ("&lt;option value='$year'&gt;$year&lt;/option&gt;"); } $year++; }while($year&lt;=$years); ?&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="start-hour"&gt;&lt;? $date_h = date(H); $hour = 1; $hours = 24; do{ if($date_h == $hour){ echo ("&lt;option value='$hour' selected='selected'&gt;$hour&lt;/option&gt;"); }else{ echo ("&lt;option value='$hour'&gt;$hour&lt;/option&gt;"); } $hour++; }while($hour&lt;=$hours); ?&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="start-min"&gt;&lt;? $date_min = date(i); $min = 1; $mins = 60; do{ if($date_min == $min){ echo ("&lt;option value='$min' selected='selected'&gt;$min&lt;/option&gt;"); }else{ echo ("&lt;option value='$min'&gt;$min&lt;/option&gt;"); } $min++; }while($min&lt;=$mins); ?&gt;&lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="start-sec"&gt;&lt;? $date_sec = date(s); $sec = 1; $secs = 60; do{ if($date_sec == $sec){ echo ("&lt;option value='$sec' selected='selected'&gt;$sec&lt;/option&gt;"); }else{ echo ("&lt;option value='$sec'&gt;$sec&lt;/option&gt;"); } $sec++; }while($sec&lt;=$secs); ?&gt;&lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>-- UPDATE --</strong> here's the cleaner version - thanks!</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="start-month"&gt; &lt;? $arr_m = array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"); $month = date('m'); for ($i = 0; $i &lt;= 12; $i++) { $name = $arr_m[$i-1]; $sel = ($i == $month) ?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
