Working with Dates, help.

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Sooo to make a long story short, here's what im trying to accomplish.

I need to create a dropdown list of months, where the starting month is current month and the ending month is the previous months 2 years earlier.

Example of static version
Code: [Select]<option VALUE="">-Month-</option>
<option VALUE="0" >Oct-2009</option>
<option VALUE="1" >Sep-2009</option>
<option VALUE="2" >Aug-2009</option>
<option VALUE="3" >Jul-2009</option>
<option VALUE="4" >Jun-2009</option>
<option VALUE="5" >May-2009</option>
<option VALUE="6" >Apr-2009</option>
<option VALUE="7" >Mar-2009</option>
<option VALUE="8" >Feb-2009</option>
<option VALUE="9" >Jan-2009</option>
<option VALUE="10" >Dec-2008</option>
<option VALUE="11" >Nov-2008</option>
<option VALUE="12" >Oct-2008</option>
<option VALUE="13" >Sep-2008</option>
<option VALUE="14" >Aug-2008</option>
<option VALUE="15" >Jul-2008</option>
<option VALUE="16" >Jun-2008</option>
<option VALUE="17" >May-2008</option>
<option VALUE="18" >Apr-2008</option>
<option VALUE="19" >Mar-2008</option>
<option VALUE="20" >Feb-2008</option>
<option VALUE="21" >Jan-2008</option>
<option VALUE="22" >Dec-2007</option>
<option VALUE="23" >Nov-2007</option>
<option VALUE="24" >Oct-2007</option>
<option VALUE="25" >Sep-2007</option>
<option VALUE="26" >Aug-2007</option>
<option VALUE="27" >Jul-2007</option>
<option VALUE="28" >Jun-2007</option>

Now it's easy to figure out current month through getDate();
The loop is relatively easy also. But i dont know how to use the date to subtract if you will the months and years from the current date.

So all in all i need to create the code above dynamically.

Thanks Guys
