[RESOLVED] Double March , no February in PHP date

soggy

Greetings,

For some reason the code below is producing (2) Marches and no February in the dropdown. Can some experts lend advice?

Jan
Mar
Mar
April
May
etc

		<select name=month>
		<?
		for($m = '1'; $m <= '12'; $m++)
		{
			$MonthWord = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m,date(d),date(Y)));

		if($m == date(n) || $m == $_POST[month])
		{
			echo "<option value=$m selected>$MonthWord</option>";	
		}
		else
		{
			echo "<option value=$m>$MonthWord</option>";	
		}
	}
	?>
	</select>

	&nbsp;

	<select name=day>
	<?
	for($d = '1'; $d <= '31'; $d++)
	{
		if($d == date(j) || $d == $_POST[day])
		{
			echo "<option value=$d selected>$d</option>";	
		}
		else
		{
			echo "<option value=$d>$d</option>";	
		}
	}
	?>
	</select>		

	&nbsp;

	<select name=year>
	<?
	for($y = '2005'; $y <= date(Y); $y++)
	{
		if($y == date(Y) || $y == $_POST[year])
		{
			echo "<option value=$y selected>$y</option>\n";	
		}
		else
		{
			echo "<option value=$y>$y</option>\n";	
		}
	}
	?>
	</select>

Try this:

$MonthWord = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m);

Because February 30 or 31 and sometimes 29 dont exists ...

Then make it like this:

All the int mktime () function params are optional if dont specify them it will return the current date, so without specifing the day of the month the function used the curent day witch is 31, and the february 31 does not exists and the function returned March day 2 ...
