activedateselect Follow @yiiframework

$this->widget('ext.ActiveDateSelect',
    array(
      'model'=>$model,
      'attribute'=>'birthdate',
      'reverse_years'=>true,
      'field_order'=>'DMY',
      'start_year'=>1910,
      'end_year'=>date("Y",time()),
    )
);

in controller:

$model=new User;
if(isset($_POST['User'])){
   $model->attributes=$_POST['User'];
   ActiveDateSelect::sanitize($model, 'birthdate');
   if($model->validate()){
       $model->save();
       ...
   }
