*  futureDateFormEntry():
*    Quick, easy addition of future date fields to HTML code using PHP.
*    Handy for requesting expiration dates, dates for delivery, dates for
*    appointments, or any web application that requires obtaining a future
*    date from the user.
*
*  Function requires only 3 arguments if you are happy with the defaults:
*    The 3 required arguments are a mechanism for preserving the user's valid
*    input from previous edits of the form (re-entrant form code).  They may
*    be NULL, in which case the default selection parameters apply.
*
    $defaultDay:       Specific day (may be NULL)
     $defaultMonth:     Specific month (may be NULL)
     $defaultYear:      Specific year (may be NULL)
     $order='dmy':      Euro convention of day:month:year
     $alignment='left': standard; can be any "<td align=" value

     default selections:
     
    $plusDays=0:    assumes same day of month as today's or maximum day
                    for the given month; number of days you want added
                    to today's month day

    $plusMonths=1:    one month in the future; number of months you want
                    added to today's month

    $plusYears=0:   current year or next year if current month is 12 [Dec];
                    number of years you want added to today's year

    $futureYears=1: number of years in the future to include in selection
                    beyond the default selected year.
