[Monthly Drop Down]

Hi there guys,

 

I am new to php and as my first language is C# I would appreciate any help regarding this.

 

I have a form with a drop down with previous year month's and current year's months, however I would like the default selected value to be previous month and not current month.

 

Here is a snippet of the code I have worked on....

 

 

<optgroup label="<?=(date("Y")-1)?>"><?=(date("Y")-1)?>

<?

for( $x=1; $x<13; $x++ ){

 

$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $x, 1, date("Y"));

 

?><option value="<?=( (date("Y")-1)."-".date("m", $time))?>"><?=date("F", $time)?></option><?

}

?>

</optgroup>

 

<optgroup label="<?=(date("Y"))?>"><?=(date("Y"))?>

<?

for( $x=1; $x<date("n")+1; $x++ ){

 

$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $x, 1, date("Y"));

$selected = ( date("n", $time)==(date("n")))? 'selected="selected"' : "";

?><option value="<?=( date("Y")."-".date("m", $time)."-".date('d') )?>" <?=$selected?>><?=date("F", $time)?></option><?

}

?>

 

Any help would be appreciated
