         <select id="days" name="days" class="form-control">
           <option value="">-</option>
           {foreach from=$days item=day}
             <option value="{$day}" {if ($sl_day == $day)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$day}  </option>
           {/foreach}
         </select>
         {*
           {l s='January'}

           {l s='March'}
           {l s='April'}

           {l s='June'}
           {l s='July'}
           {l s='August'}
           {l s='September'}
           {l s='October'}
           {l s='November'}
           {l s='December'}
         *}
       </div>
       <div class="col-xs-4">
         <select id="months" name="months" class="form-control">
           <option value="">-</option>
           {foreach from=$months key=k item=month}
             <option value="{$k}" {if ($sl_month == $k)} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s=$month} </option>
           {/foreach}
         </select>
       </div>
       <div class="col-xs-4">
