I dont understand forloops and this is my attempt. lol
does any one know how to do a loop so that it adds a option for every year that is greater than the current year but no more than 5 years ahead?

Code:

for($yearnum = date("Y", time()); $yearnum < $yearnum+2; $yearnum++) {    echo "  <option>$yearnum</option>"; }

i just really dont understand this

If I understand correctly what you need, you could try something like :

Code:

$year = date("Y", time()) for ($i=1;i<6;i++) {    echo "<option>".$year+i."</option>"; }

If you want to include the current year you could try to run the loop from 0 to 5.
Hope this helps you!

Best wishes,
John
