[RESOLVED] Switch Statement Not Printing Some Values

[rsmith]

Hey all, here's my switch statement.

switch($mss_month){
							case 01:
								$month_text = "JANUARY";
							break;
							case 02:
								$month_text = "FEBRUARY";
							break;
							case 03:
								$month_text = "MARCH";
							break;
							case 04:
								$month_text = "APRIL";
							break;
							case 05:
								$month_text = "MAY";
							break;
							case 06:
								$month_text = "JUNE";
							break;
							case 07:
								$month_text = "JULY";
							break;
							case 08:
								$month_text = "AUGUST";
							break;
							case 09:
								$month_text = "SEPTEMBER";
							break;
							case 10:
								$month_text = "OCTOBER";
							break;
							case 11:
								$month_text = "NOVEMBER";
							break;
							case 12:
								$month_text = "DECEMBER";
							break;
						}

My problem is when I go to echo $month_text on my page the cases for 08 and 09 do not echo the value of $month_text. All the other months work fine. Can anyone see an obvious problems? I've tried re-writing the entire statement twice with the same result.

Thanks,
Ryan

Try removing the leading 0. You are expressing the number in octal. There may be an alternative:

$month_text = strtoupper(date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $mss_month)));

I shouldn't have to remove the leading 0 though. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 all work without any issues. Thanks for the response!

That's because 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are the same numbers in octal as in decimal. In octal counting, 8 and 9 don't exist (decimal 8 is octal 10 and decimal 9 is octal 11). Remove the zeros from those two and it should work (if you don't want to use laserlight's better suggestion).

Thanks all. It works now. The 2 digit numeral that is being used in $mss_month for the switch statement is defined through a $_GET['mss_month'] from a form variable passed in the URL. I didn't think it passed it as an octal number. Thanks!
