I consider your example breaking the separation of business and  
display logic. The front-end should only have display logic; it  
shouldn't be performing calculations. You have business logic in your  
example. The backend should take care of that and only pass variables  
and arrays to the front-end.

The front-end could (should) look like this:

<select name="day">
	<? foreach ($days as $day) { ?>
	<option value="<? $day ?>"><? $day ?></option>
	<? } ?>
</select>

<select name="month">
	<? foreach ($months as $month) { ?>
	<option value="<? $month ?>"><? $month ?></option>
	<? } ?>
</select>

<select name="year">
	<? foreach ($years as $year) { ?>
	<option value="<? $year ?>"><? $year ?></option>
	<? } ?>
</select>
