[SOLVED] populate short month to long month name

[busnut]

G'day

 

I've got this bit below where users can select the month & year of their choice, but I can't seem to work out how to get it to display the full month name.

the value of the search needs to be in the 3 letter format (ie, Jan, Feb, Mar etc etc), but what the users see in the dropdown box needs to be 'January', 'February', 'March' etc etc.

 

<Select NAME="month">
<?php
echo "<option value=".date(M).">".date(F)."</option>";
echo "<option>-----</option>";
$arr = array('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
foreach ($arr as $value) {
echo "<Option VALUE=$value>$value</option>";
}
?>
  <Option VALUE="">All Year</option>
</Select>

 

It works for the first month that is displayed (which is the current month), but i've tried with failing getting it to display in the same format for the 12 months listed.

 

Any help appreciated!

 $arr = array('Jan' => 'January', 'Feb' => 'February'); //you need to complete this
foreach ($arr as $code => $full) {
echo "<Option VALUE=$code>$full</option>";
}

Something so simple, I had tried that =>'fullmonth' in the arr line, but not down in the foreach line'

 

Thankyou very much, most appreciated!
