PHP Loop with smarty

Question

This is my PHP code with smarty.

<p>
    <label for="dob">{$smarty.const.LBL_DATE_OF_BIRTH}</label>
    <span>
        <select class="left" id="bday" name="bday" style="width:60px;" >
            <option value="">- {$smarty.const.LBL_DAY} -</option>{$days}
        </select>
    </span>
</p>

and my PHP code is

for($bd=1;$bd<=31;$bd++)
{
    $bdkey=($bd<10)?"0".$bd:$bd;
    $selected='';
    if($bdkey==date("d",strtotime($data['dob']))) $selected ='selected';
    $days.="<option value=".$bdkey." $selected >".$bdkey."</option>";
}

$smarty->assign('days',$days);

This value is inserted in DB. But its not selected the value. Like, if I select 15, and save, it inserted DB. But not showing selected value. Thanks in advance.

Probably your if($bdkey==date("d",strtotime($data['dob']))) statement returns false. Print out each check to see, why don't you get the expected results. — KristofMorva

Do it the Smarty way, Smarty has the excellent function html_options to create html select fields.

PHP:

$days = array("- ".LBL_DAY." -");
for($bd=1;$bd<=31;$bd++) {
    $days[] = ($bd<10)?"0".$bd:$bd;
}

$smarty->assign("days", $days);
$day = date("d",strtotime($data['dob']));
$smarty->assign("dob", $day);

Smarty:

<p>
    <label for="dob">{$smarty.const.LBL_DATE_OF_BIRTH}</label>
    <span>
        {html_options values=$days output=$days selected=$dob class="left" id="bday" name="bday" style="width:60px;"}
    </span>
</p>

This will use the array and the data from PHP and create the complete select element including all options, with the currently stored already selected.
