Thanks a lot, time saved.

This is great! If anyone is running PHP on the backend, you can embed a little block to always render out the last x-amount of years like so:

<?php
    $date = (int) date('Y');
    $numYears = 100;
    for ($i=$date; $i >= $date - $numYears; $i--) {
        echo "<option value=\"$i\">$i</option>";
    }
?>

Thanks for the code
