to output the month number, between 01 and 12 --- DATE value m, the
month with leading 0's.  How do I do this?  $months is an array, as I
have shown below.  Ron

<?php
$months = array('1' => 'January', '2' => 'February', '3' => 'March', '4'
=> 'April', '5' => 'May', '6' => 'June', '7' => 'July', '8' => 'August',
'9' => 'September', '10' => 'October', '11' => 'November', '12' =>
'December');

$current_month = DATE("n");

echo "<SELECT NAME=\"order_received_month\">\r\n";

foreach (range(1, 12) as $month)
     {
         echo "<option value=\"" . $months[$month] . "\"";

if ( $month == $current_month ) { echo " SELECTED";}

echo">" . $months[$month] . "</option>\r\n";
     }
?>
</select>



Ok, I will show you two different ways to do this.

<?php

$months = array(
  '1' => 'January',
  '2' => 'February',
  '3' => 'March',
  '4' => 'April',
  '5' => 'May',
  '6' => 'June',
  '7' => 'July',
  '8' => 'August',
  '9' => 'September',
  '10' => 'October',
  '11' => 'November',
  '12' => 'December',
);

foreach ( $months AS $i => $month ) {
  $sel = ( $i == date('n') ? ' selected="selected"' : '');
  echo "<option value='{$month}' {$sel}>{$month}</option>\r\n";
}

?>

Personally, I would do something like this.

<?php

$options = array();

for ( $i=1; $i<13; $i++ ) {
  $month = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$i,2,2000));
  $sel = ( $i == date('n') ? ' selected="selected"' : '');
  $options[] = "<option value='{$month}' {$sel}>{$month}</option>";
}

$options_list = join("\r\n", $options);

echo "<select>{$options_list}</select>";

?>

Now, if you are wanting to display the numerical month with leading zero's, then you would want to look at the 'm' option for date() or str_pad().


something like this might show you what you need.

<?php

# str_pad test
echo str_pad(3, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT)

?>

Hope this helps understand a little more.
