How can PHP developers optimize their code to avoid repeating the selected day in a date select field?
To avoid repeating the selected day in a date select field, PHP developers can use a loop to generate the options for the select field and skip the selected day when iterating through the days of the month.
<select name="day">
<?php
$selected_day = 15; // Example selected day
for ($day = 1; $day <= 31; $day++) {
if ($day == $selected_day) {
continue; // Skip the selected day
}
echo "<option value='$day'>$day</option>";
}
?>
</select>
