[RESOLVED] Month List

[mramonster]

I'm trying to figure out how to list all of the Months from Jun 2006 to the Current Month and have no idea how I would even do this.

so a code like: will be put out:

<?php
echo '
<h3>2008</h3>
<a href="/news/2008/month-December.html">December</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-November.html">November</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-October.html">October</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-September.html">September</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-August.html">August</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-July.html">July</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-June.html">June</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-May.html">May</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-April.html">April</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-March.html">March</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-February.html">February</a>
<a href="/news/2008/month-Janruary.html">Janruary</a>

<h3>2007</h3>
<a href="/news/2007/month-December.html">December</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-November.html">November</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-October.html">October</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-September.html">September</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-August.html">August</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-July.html">July</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-June.html">June</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-May.html">May</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-April.html">April</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-March.html">March</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-February.html">February</a>
<a href="/news/2007/month-Janruary.html">Janruary</a>

<h3>2006</h3>
<a href="/news/2006/month-December.html">December</a>
<a href="/news/2006/month-November.html">November</a>
<a href="/news/2006/month-October.html">October</a>
<a href="/news/2006/month-September.html">September</a>
<a href="/news/2006/month-August.html">August</a>
<a href="/news/2006/month-July.html">July</a>
<a href="/news/2006/month-June.html">June</a>

?>

<?php
$from = 200606;
$to = date('Ym');

//define sort, print first title
$sort = date('Y');
echo "<h3>{$sort}</h3>";

//minus $to until $to = $from
while ($from != $to) {

//break down $to
$toYear = substr_replace($to, '', 4, 6);
$toMonth = substr_replace($to, '', 0, 4);

//if new year, add title
if ($sort != $toYear) {
	$sort = $toYear;
	echo "<h3>".$toYear."</h3>";
}

//make text month, print link
$month = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$toMonth,0,$toYear));
#    echo "<a href='/news/{$toYear}/month-{$month}.html'>{$month}</a> <br />";
    echo $toYear.$toMonth." - ".$month."<br />";

//minus 1 month, if less than zero, new year
$toMonth = $toMonth-1;
if ($toMonth == 0) {
	$toMonth = 12;
	$toYear = $toYear-1;
}

//add 0 if only 1 digit
if (strlen($toMonth) == 1) {
	$toMonth = '0'.$toMonth;
}
$to = $toYear.$toMonth;
}
?>

it almost works, I don't know what I did wrong. the line I commented out is printing the wrong month from mktime() (as demonstrated in the line below it), its always one month off.. does anyone know why?

array($this_year,$this_month) = explode(':',date('Y:m'));

// June to December of 2006 
$dates[2006] = range(6,12);
// Full years
for($y=2007; $y<$this_year; ++$y)
{
	$dates[$y] = range(1,12);
}
// This year
$dates[$this_year] = range(1,$this_month);



// As an example: a bunch of links.
$month_number_to_name = array(null,
	'January',
	'February',
	'March',
	'April',
	'May',
	'June',
	'July',
	'August',
	'September',
	'October',
	'November',
	'December');

// Reverse order
$dates = array_reverse(array_map('array_reverse', $dates),true);
foreach($dates as $year=>$months)
{
	echo '<h3>',$year,'</h3>';
	foreach($months as $number)
	{
		$name = $month_number_to_name[$number];
		echo "<a href=\"/news/$year/month-$name.html\">$name</a>\n";
	}
}

$first_yr = '2006';
$first_mo = 'June';
$first_ts = strtotime($first_mo . $first_yr);
$ts = strtotime(date('F') . date('Y'));
$tmp_yr = '0';
while ($first_ts <= $ts) {
    $yr = date('Y', $ts);
    $mo = date('F', $ts);
    if ($yr != $tmp_yr) {
        echo '<h3>' . $yr . '</h3>';
        $tmp_yr = $yr;
    }
    echo '<a href="/news/' . $yr . '/month-' . $mo . '.html">' . $mo . '</a><br />';
    $ts = strtotime('-1 month', $ts);
}

Thanks that worked perfectly and fast!
