[SOLVED] select help

[sasori]

i created a drop down menu for "month"

<?php
$months = array(1 =>"January","February","March",
				"April","May","June",
				"July","August","September",
				"October","November","December");

$today = time();
$monthMO = date("M",$today);
echo "<form action='process.php' method='POST'>";
echo "<select name='month'>";
for($n=1; $n<=12 ;$n++)
{
echo "<option value='$n' ";
if(($monthMO == $n) && ($monthMO == $today))
{
	echo " Selected ";
}
echo "> $months[$n]\n</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
echo "</form>";
?>

 

my question is how will you make the form select the month today as the default selected

everytime i run the script...because as of this moment, that script default is january  ???

echo "<select name='month'>\n";
foreach ($months as $value){
echo "\t<option value='$value'";
if($value == date("F"))
{
echo " Selected";
}
echo "> $months[$n]</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>";
echo "</form>";
?>

echo "<form action='process.php' method='POST'>";
echo "<select name='month'>\n";
foreach ($months as $value){
echo "\t<option value='$value'";
if($value == date("F"))
{
echo " Selected";
}
echo "> $value</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>";
echo "</form>";
?>
