If anyone's interested, i've posted up a very simple
HTML class i wrote to handle form elements.
http://furt.com/code/php/html_class/
It'll do what you're looking for:
$html = new Html();
for ($i=0; $i<=12; $i++)
$all_months[ date("m",mktime(0,0,0,$i)) ] =
date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i));
print $html->select('form[months]', $all_months, date("m"));
