Loop Problem

[NoobPHP]

Why is it by default my drop down list starts with 31..
How should i allow the loop to begin with 1?

$day = array (1=>"01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30", "31");
$select = "<select name=\"day\">\n";
foreach ($day as $key => $val)
{
$select .= "\t<option val=\"".$key."\"";
if ($key)
{
$select .= " selected>".$val."\n";
}
else
{
$select .= ">".$val."\n";
}
}
$select .= "</select>";
echo $select;

Because if($key) is always true (anything nonzero is "true"). Have a look at the HTML you're generating.
