How are you setting the $arrival_* and $depature_* values?

If this is a new entry then all of the $arrival_* and $depature_* will
be null or zero - therefore the select options will not be
automatically selected (View Source of the page to see if there are
any error messages within these lists).

You might want to initialise the values by:
$arrival_day = $depature_day = date('j');
$arrival_month = $depature_month = date('n');
$arrival_year = $depature_year = date('Y');

If you read a record from the database then you would over write the
above values. This will ensure that correct values within the select
lists are automatically selected.

You are assuming that items within the listboxs have been selected
(normally this the case only if the initial setup is correct).
You should use
$arrival_day = ( isset( $_POST['arrival_day'] ) ?
intval($_POST['arrival_day']) : 0;
if( $arrival_day == 0 ) { $pageError = "Invalid arrival day number";}

I also assume that you are checking that you can't arrive before you
depart :-)

But are the values your setting the ones you expect?

Anything But Marriage, perversely, turns one of the country's
more culturally visible minorities into an advertisement for just
how cool and successful life outside of wedlock can be.
