It's been a while since I've done a 'for' statement...
Here's my new working code:
<?php
for ($i=01;$i<=12;$i++) {
if($i == date("m")) {
$selected = " selected";
}
else {
$selected = "";
}
print "<option
value=\"".date("m",mktime(0,0,0,$i))."\"$selected>".date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i
))."</option>\n";
}
?>
I found that you have to put quotes around the date() paramaters (like
date("m") instead of date(m)) or PHP will put an error message in your
error.log file in Apache (2.0.35/php4.2.0). Here's the message:
PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant m - assumed 'm' in C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\select.php on line 3
My error log was huge because of this (and the failed first attempt of this
code).

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: PHP generation of <select> fields
you make two mistakes. let's see the correct code:
for ($i=1;$i<=12;$i++)
{
if($i == date(m))
//first here ^^^ (must be == not just one "=")
{
$selected = " selected";
}
//here is the second: if $selected ="selected" for $i=4 (may) $i will be
remain selected for all month > then may
//you need the following line to correct this problem.
else $selected="";
print "<option
value=\"".date(m,mktime(0,0,0,$i))."\"$selected>".date(F,mktime(0,0,0,$i))."
</option>\n";
}
