Select in foreach loop with 2 variables?!?

[jmansa]

Is this possible?

I'm trying to make an Month loop in a selectbox which is set default to current date/month:

$currMonth = date('m');
$months = array( 
   1=>''._JANUARY.'', 
      ''._FEBRUARY.'', 
      ''._MARCH.'', 
      ''._APRIL.'', 
      ''._MAY.'', 
      ''._JUNE.'', 
      ''._JULY.'', 
      ''._AUGUST.'', 
      ''._SEPTEMBER.'', 
      ''._OCTOBER.'', 
      ''._NOVEMBER.'', 
      ''._DECEMBER.'' 
          );

echo '<select name="matchdate_month">';

foreach ($months AS $m) {
            
    if($m == $currMonth){
        echo '<option value="'.$m.'" selected>'.$m.'</option>';
    } else {
        echo '<option value="'.$m.'">'.$m.'</option>';
    }
        
}

echo '</select>'; 

As it is now i shows January as default in month and not July as it is now, and it is due to the months is not in "digits" like "date('m')" is (07).

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance...

What about...

<?php
echo '<select name="month">';
for($iMonth = 1; $iMonth <= 12; $iMonth++)
{
    $sMonth = date(
        'F',
        mktime(
            null,
            null,
            null,
            $iMonth
        )
    );
    printf(
        '<option value="%1$s" %2$s>%1$s</option>',
        $sMonth,
        (date('F') === $sMonth) ? 'selected="selected"' : ''
    );
}
echo '</select>';
/*
<select name="month">
    <option value="January">
        January
    </option>
    <option value="February">
        February
    </option>
    <option value="March">
        March
    </option>
    <option value="April">
        April
    </option>
    <option value="May">
        May
    </option>
    <option value="June">
        June
    </option>
    <option value="July" selected="selected">
        July
    </option>
    <option value="August">
        August
    </option>
    <option value="September">
        September
    </option>
    <option value="October">
        October
    </option>
    <option value="November">
        November
    </option>
    <option value="December">
        December
    </option>
</select>
*/
?>

Many options but this looks easiest.

$currMonth = date('n') ;

date
"n : Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros : 1 through 12 "

More ways ...

$m = range(1, 12 );

foreach ( $m as $k ) {

$t = strtotime( '01-' . $k . '-2009' );
$month[$k] = '_' . strtoupper( date('F', $t ) ) ;

}

var_dump( $month ) ;

Nothing flash, but day and month:

$currentdate = getdate();
                $months = array(
                1 => 'January',
                'February',
                'March',
                'April',
                'May',
                'June',
                'July',
                'August',
                'September',
                'October',
                'November',
                'December');
                
echo '<select class="select" id="day" name="day">';
                
for ($d = 1; $d <= 31; $d++) {
    echo '<option value="'.$d.'"';
    if ($d == $currentdate['mday']) {
        echo ' selected="selected"';
    }
    echo '>'.$d.'</option>';
}
                
echo '</select>';

//months dropdown
                    
echo '<select id="month" name="month">';
                    
foreach ($months as $key => $value) {
    echo '<option value="'.$key.'"';
    if ($key == $currentdate['mon']) {
        echo ' selected="selected"';
    }
    echo ">$value</option>\n";
}
                    
echo "</select>\n"; 

Cheers,
