Just when I think I'm getting the hang of PHP, I get confused beyond belief :| Is this working for you guys? When I test my page only 1/2 of the months show up now. <scratching head> <select name="month"> <?PHP for ($m=1;$m<=12;$m++) { $months=date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1)); echo "<option value=\"".sprintf("%02d", $m).\">$months</option>"; } ?> </select> On 2/19/07, Brad Fuller <bfuller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
