Problem
You want a select box with a range of years.
Solution
Use the Form::selectYear() method.
Just specify the start and end years.
{{ Form::selectYear('year', 2013, 2015) }}
This produces three options.
<select name="year"> <option value="2013">2013</option> <option value="2014">2014</option> <option value="2015">2015</option> </select>
Add a fourth option for the default value and a fifth option for any additional attributes for the select field.
{{ Form::selectYear('year', 2013, 2015, 2014, ['class' => 'field']) }}
Now year 2014 is selected and the select field has a class attribute.
<select class="field" name="year"> <option value="2013">2013</option> <option value="2014" selected="selected">2014</option> <option value="2015">2015</option> </select>
Discussion
This is actually a simple wrapper over the Form::selectRange() method.
It operates exactly as Form::selectRange() does. The primary purpose for using it is to have your code be slightly easier to understand. Seeing a Form::selectYear() makes it readily apparent what you're doing, but a Form::selectRange() means you have to think "Okay, what type of range is being selected?"
