changing "selected" in drop down list in post to self

[ericsante]

I have 2 drop down lists, one for month and one for year in my form, I perform a post to self. How do I change the month drop down to be the month that was selected and submitted.

Ie. I select november 2006 and press select, the query returns and displays the proper data, however the drop down lists revert back to the default values which are janurary 2004.

I want the drop downs to be reflective of the date that was already selected.

Something like this:

<?php
$month = array(1 =>'January',
'February',
'March',
'April',
'May',
'June',
'July',
'August',
'September',
'October',
'November',
'December');

?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
<?php

print "<select name ='month'>\n";
foreach ($month as $label => $option){
	if (isset($_POST['month'])) {
		if ($_POST['month'] ==$label){
			print "<option value='".$label."' selected>".$option."</option>\n";					} else {
				print "<option value='".$label."'>".$option."</option>\n";
			}
	} else {
		print "<option value='".$label."'>".$option."</option>\n";
	}
}
print "</select>\n";
?>
<input type="submit">
</form>
