Option selected

[doddsey_65]

I have the following which fils a combo box with years from 1950 to 2100. This is the year box for the date of birth.

 

Year 
<select name="year_select">
<?php
for( $i=1950; $i<=2100; $i++ )
{
echo "<option value=\"{$i}\" class=\"year\">{$i}</option>";
}
?>
</select>

 

I want it to automatically display the year that is in the database so instead of automatically displaying 1950 i want their birth year displayed which is $tab_info->user_dob_year. How would i go about this? i dont know where to start since im using a for loop to populate it.

Year 
<select name="year_select">
<?php
for( $i=1950; $i<=2100; $i++ )
{
if ($i == $value) {
echo "<option value=\"{$i}\" class=\"year\" selected>{$i}</option>";
}else{
echo "<option value=\"{$i}\" class=\"year\">{$i}</option>";
}
?>

That should do the trick
