CakePHP Self Adjusting Credit Card Year

Submitted by Derick Ng on 18 October 2010 - 10:01am

When I used to program on PEAR, I’ve used the following code to auto-generate succeeding years.

$form->addElement('date', 'CCexpiry', 'Credit Card Expiration',
			  array('format' => 'F-Y',
					'minYear' => date('Y'),
					'maxYear' => date('Y') + 10));

Now, when I used CakePHP (1.2/1.3). They have a similar approach that we can all use.

<?php echo $this->Form->input('cc_expy',
              array('div' => false, 'label' => false, 'type' => 'date',
              'maxYear' => date('Y', strtotime('+ 7 years')),
              'minYear' => date('Y'),
              'dateFormat' => 'Y',
              'default' => date('Y'),
              'orderYear' => 'asc'
              )); ?>
