Dates

[berbbrown]

I want to fill a select list with a list of months (January - December).

Apart from listing each one between the select tags or retrieving from a database, how can I populate the list.

Can I use a loop using the date function??????

Thanks

This should work...

<?
$arrMonth = array( '', 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'Juny', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December' );
?>
<select name="strMonth">
<?
for( $i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++ )
{
?>
     <option value="<?=$i?>"><?=$arrMonth[$i]?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>

<select name="month">
<?php
for($mo=1;$mo < 13;$mo++){
	$month = strftime("%B",mktime(0,0,0,$mo,1,2003));
	print "<option value=\"$mo\">$month</option>\n";
}//end for
?>
</select>

mktime and strftime.

since you just want the month name, mktime just needs one variable passed to it, the month, the rest of the data can be hard coded.
