Re: Post Data

Maybe if I explain what I am doing better. Basically, I have a form
that asks for a birthday. We do not want the users to feel
uncomfortable by asking for thier year of birth so I have two drop
down boxes, one for the month (<select name='PostDobmonth'
id='PostDobmonth'>) and one for the year (<select name='PostDobday' id
= 'PostDobday' >). Then since the DB field is a date, I and creating
a default year by doing this:

$this->data['Customer']['dob'] = '1901'.$this-
>form['PostDobmonth'].'-'.$_POST['PostDobday'];

What is the correct format or way to use the form help and dropdown
boxes like this?

Thanks
