I wanted to make a dynamic select statement from this year to 10 years. This gets the job done, but I feel like it's a little much. form_dropdown('year', array_combine(range(date('Y'), date('Y')+10), range(date('Y'), date('Y')+10)), set_value('year'));Specifically, is there a better way to create this array, other than this?array_combine(range(date('Y'), date('Y')+10), range(date('Y'), date('Y')+10))Desired output (at least for this year):Array(    [2014] => 2014    [2015] => 2015    [2016] => 2016    [2017] => 2017    [2018] => 2018    [2019] => 2019    [2020] => 2020    [2021] => 2021    [2022] => 2022    [2023] => 2023    [2024] => 2024)
Dynamic array of Years

In order to get the output that you wanted, using array_combine will most likely be your best bet. You can simplify your statements pretty easily because variables are you friends:$current_year = date('Y');$date_range = range($current_year, $current_year+10);form_dropdown('year', array_combine($date_range, $date_range), set_value('year'));Addendum by @brettsantoreI think this solves what I thought to be a problem, the combining of so many functions. I ended up simplifying it a little more.$current_year = date('Y');$range = range($current_year, $current_year+10);$years = array_combine($range, $range);
