Trouble with a date select box

[nmphpwebdev]

I have this date select box (for months only )

echo "<form action=\"index.php\" method=\"GET\">\n";
                echo "<table border=\"1\">\n";
                    echo "<th colspan=\"2\">View Other Months</th>\n";
                    echo "<tr>\n";
                        echo "<td>\n";
                            echo "<select name=\"months\">\n";
                                foreach ($months as $key => $val ) {
                                    ($key == date('m', time())) ? ($sel = " selected") : ($sel = "");
                                    echo "<option value=\"".$key."\"$sel>".$val."</option>\n";
                                }

When i select a month earlier than the current month ( october so fa ), there is 10 added to the month. January become 11, February becomes 12 and so on.

I have tried to change it here:

echo "<form action=\"index.php\" method=\"GET\">\n";
                echo "<table border=\"1\">\n";
                    echo "<th colspan=\"2\">View Other Months</th>\n";
                    echo "<tr>\n";
                        echo "<td>\n";
                            echo "<select name=\"months\">\n";
                                foreach ($months as $key => $val ) {
                                    ($key == date('m', time()-10)) ? ($sel = " selected") : ($sel = "");
                                    echo "<option value=\"".$key."\"$sel>".$val."</option>\n";
                                }

But i haven't solved it yet.

Any ideas??

This:

time()-10

only subtracts 10 seconds from the value returned by time().

You need to use something like this instead:

($key == date('m', strtotime("+10 months", time())) ? ($sel = " selected") : ($sel = ""); 

(This is untested, so not sure if it works, but should point you in the right direction.)
