Dropdown box to display variable values

[fun2trash]

Hi,

I would like to be able to display the actual values of a variables (or
in other words, populate) the options for the drop down box.

For example: I would like to define a variable yesterday and today.
Then, I would like to display the yesterday's date and today's date on
the dropdown box. Of course, by tomorrow, the options should change.
Is this possible?

To clarify further, today would be 1-9-2007 and yesterday would be
1-8-2007. So, I would like a dropdown box that displays those dates
today. However, by tomorrow, the dropdown box should display 1-9-2007
for yesterday and then 1-10-2007 for today.

I would really appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks.

Need scripting. Here is a PHP solution

<select name="appointment">
<?php
$numberOfDay=10; //set as required
for($i=0; $i<$numberOfDay; $i++){
$theDate=date('m-d-Y', strtotime("+$i Days"));
echo "<option value=\"$theDate\">$theDate</option>";
}
?>
</select>
