Basic Question - Loop for option value

La_Parka

I'm attempting to write a loop that will print each month's number as it's option value, e.g. $Count=1 for January, $Count=2 for February, and so on.

$months = array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", 
"August", "September", "October", "November", "December");

echo "<SELECT>";
foreach($months as $Mon)
{

echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$Count\">$Mon</OPTION>";

}
echo "</SELECT>";

How would such a loop be phrased?

scoppc

foreach($months as $Count=>$Mon) 
{ 
     echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$Count\">$Mon</OPTION>"; 
}

$Count will be the key and $Mon is the value

$Count will be the key and $Mon is the value [/B]

How would I get the count to start at 1 rather than 0?

jayant

echo $Count+1 instead of $Count

echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"".($Count+1)."\">$Mon</OPTION>";

or use a for loop

for($i=1;$i<=12;$i++)
{
echo $months[$i];
}

but in your present case, months are starting from zero

$months = array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",  

"August", "September", "October", "November", "December");

=> 0 - January
1 - February
... and so on

to have January as 1

use

$months = array(1 => "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",  

"August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
