Interesting -- more portable since the month names would then follow
locale settings.
Plus it paves the way for a really hairy one-liner. With apologies to
the original poster for the drift and the perversity of this example:
".implode("\n",array_map(create_function('$n','return"".strftime("%b",strtotime("2004-$n-01"))."";'),range(1,12)))."";
?>

Well, looks like the idea is alway the same, with some (very usefull)
variations.
Thanks for help!

Another way to skin this cat :
$month_names = array(
'Jan'=>'', 'Feb'=>'', 'Mar'=>'','Apr'=>'',
'May'=>'', 'Jun'=>'', 'Jul'=>'','Aug'=>'',
'Sep'=>'', 'Oct'=>'', 'Nov'=>'', 'Dec'=>'');
$month_names[date('M')] = ' selected';
echo '';
foreach($month_names as $month=>$selected){
echo ''.$month.'';
}
echo '';

Here's how I might re-do your code (notes below):
$months = array ('', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul',
'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
print "";
foreach ($months as $number => $month)
{
$selected = "";
if (date ('n') == $number)
{
$selected = "selected='selected'";
}
print "$month";
}
print "";
Notes (warning, many personal biases included):
1. Quote all HTML attributes.
2. Use XHTML-compatible markup for "selected" attribute, nutty as it looks.
3. Use the month name, not the number, for your display values.
4. If you want a blank "option" entry, you might as well include it in
your array.
5. Avoid iterating through arrays with C-style "for" loops; "foreach"
is cleaner.
6. Don't continually switch between PHP and HTML modes; either write
PHP that prints HTML, or use templates.
7. Use blocks in "if" statements.
8. Use Whitesmiths brace style :)

RE: [PHP] list of Months
What you have is basically what I do, but the current month check could be
tidied up and display the month name seeing as you have the array:
$selected_QuoteMonth = (date('m')==$i)?'SELECTED':'';
echo " $month_names[$i] ";
** CODE IS UNTESTED **
I'm sure if there is a better way then someone here will let u know.

Hi,
to create a list of all months in drop-down menu I use this code:
'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul',
'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
?>
$i ";

Is there any better way?
Thanks for any help.

Re: [PHP] list of Months
You can do it:
"
for ($i=1;$i<13;$i++)
{
echo "$month[$i]";
}
