strange problem with variables

[narcis010]

Hello,

I'm having an incredible problem (at least for me). The code is below.

It is a list/menu item for a form, teoricaly PHP, if $mes is not set, should only echo "selected" in the current month, however it also echo's Agost and Setembre.

Is there anyone that could explain why this happens?

Many Thanks,

Narcís

$data = date("m");

<select name="mes" class="camps" id="mes">
                                          <option value="01" <?php if ($data == 01  && !$mes) {echo selected;}elseif ($mes == 01){echo selected;}?>>Gener</option>
                                          <option value="02" <?php if ($data == 02  && !$mes) {echo selected;}elseif ($mes == 02){echo selected;}?>>Febrer</option>

What do you mean by "if $mes is not set" ?

Maybe you should check either isset($mes) , $mes == '' , or $mos == 0

[ahundiak]

The basic problem is the use of the leading 0 in your comparision. Numbers that start with 0 are considered to be octal numbers.

You need to use $data == '09' in your if statements.

I think you can also simplify things a bit by

if (isset($mes)) $data = $mes;
else $data = date("m");

<option value="01" <?php if ($data == '01') echo selected;?>>Month</option>

Hello,

Thanks a lot you were right, I've also simplified it :-)
