PHP 4.4/MySQL 4.0
I am tying to convert a date to put into a database from a string (ie:
January, February) to a numeric value (ie: 01,02). I am taking the
value from a form, which is a drop down menu listing the months.
$sMonth1 = $_POST['Smonth']; returns the money selected from the form.
When I go to format the month from a string to numeric with
date('m',strtotime($sMonth1));
it returns 12, no matter which month I select.
In reading the docs at php.net, date('m',strtotime($sMonth1)); is
correct to reformat from a string to a time format.
What am I missing.

An idea along a different path would be....
for your original select box where you pick the month do something like
this:
<option value="01">January</option>
<option value="02">Febuary</option>
....
Then the value passed to your form will be the numeric representation of
the month so there will be no need to translate the String --> number..
