[bam720]

function DateDropDown(){
		echo '<select name="MM">';
		for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++){
    		echo '<option value="';
			printf('%0-2d', $i);
			echo '">';
			printf('%0-2d', $i); 
			echo '</option>';
		}
		echo '</select>/';
		echo '<select name="DD">';
		for ($i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++){
    		echo '<option value="';
			printf('%0-2d', $i);
			echo '">';
			printf('%0-2d', $i); 
			echo '</option>';
		}
		echo '</select>/';
		echo '<select name="YYYY">';
		for ($i = 2005; $i <= 2010; $i++){
    		echo '<option value="';
			printf('%0-2d', $i);
			echo '">';
			printf('%0-2d', $i); 
			echo '</option>';
		}
	  echo '</select>';

I need the day and the month to have the leading 0. as in 01/01/2005 so that i can use it as a legit date data type for mysql database in the form YYYYMMDD
TIA

I think the minimum necessary change is to change every instantiation of:

%0-2d

to

%02d
