$loop=4;
while($loop>=1)
 {
   echo "$year";
   $year++;
   $loop--;
 {

I have just the code you need.
I created a class a while back that suited my needs perfectly.

There are areas that could use some functionality, but for the most part it works well.

CHornJr,

Have you given it a try... No better way of knowing than testing it out!

I think what Taelo was trying to say is that you may have answered your own question...

they way I would do it would be like:

PHP Code:
 $year = date("Y");

for($i = $year; $i < ($year + 3); $i++) {

echo $year . "<br>";

} 


all this does is loop for the current year, + 3. also just as a developer note, for is alot faster then while
