Re: how to get date select box to display a year range

Try this in your form:

echo $this->Form->input(

'dob',

array(

'label' => 'Date of Birth',

'empty' => true,

'timeFormat' => '',

'minYear' => (

date('Y') - 5

),

'maxYear' => (

date('Y') - 3

)

)

);

Hi

I have a date selection box for DOB field(the default one provided by
cakephp) which has 3 combo boxes for date, month and year
respectively.

How do I get the year combo box to display a year range ie. I want it
to display the years between (current year - 2)and (current year - 5).

since i'm new to cakephp, i have no idea on where to specify this? do
I specify this rule in the model student.php as part of the var
$validate, where the dob field is validated?

thank you.
