<?php
/*  Program name: dateSelect.php
*  Description:  Program displays a selection list that
*                customers can use to select a date.
*/
echo "<html>

$smonth = array(1=> "Jan", "Feb", "Mar",
                        "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul",
                        "Aug", "Sep", "Oct",
                        "Nov", "Dec");

$today = time();                   //stores today's date
$f_today = date("M-d-Y",$today);   //formats today's date

echo "<div style = 'text-align: center'>\n";


/* create form containing date selection list */
echo "<form action='processform.php' method='POST'>\n";

/* build selection list for the month */
$todayMO = date("n",$today);  //get the month from $today
echo "<select name='dateMO'>\n";
for ($n=1;$n<=12;$n++) 
{
   echo "<option value=$n\n";
   if ($todayMO == $n)

because he is including the wrong file maybe?

he has an s infront of the file name and an uncapitalised letter in the include path.

 

If that was the case a fatal error would display, however he may have errors turned off, but yea. I do not know how he is really naming that file.
