[SOLVED] need help with the following code

[amylou]

hi all, this code works but it does not show the months like January, Febuary, March ect

instead it shows January, March,March, May, May, July, July,August,October,October,Dec,Dec. Any ideas on how to fix it below is the code that i used:

 

<?php

function getmonth($m=0) {

return (($m==0 ) ? date('F') : date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m)));

}

?>

 

<td><select size='1' name='monthRequest'>

   

  <?php

$todaysDate = date("Y-m-d",time());

  list($year, $month, $day) = split('[-]', $todaysDate);

 

for( $i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++ )

{

  $myMonth = getmonth( $i );

  echo "<option value='$i'";

  if( $i == $month )

  {

  echo "selected";

  }

  echo ">$myMonth</option>";

}

?>

        </select> </td>

<td><select size='1' name='dayRequest'>

 

<?php

for( $i = 1; $i <= 31; $i++ )

{

  echo "<option value='$i'";

  if( $i == $day )

  {

    echo "selected";

  }

  echo ">$i</option>";

}

?>

</select></td>

<td><select size='1' name='yearRequest'> 

<?php

for( $i = 2007; $i <= 2007; $i++ )

{

  echo "<option value='$i'";

  if( $i == $year )

  {

  echo "selected";

  }

  echo ">$i</option>";

  }

  ?>

 

  </select></td></tr>

 

 

thank you for your help

That is because you use 3 of the same varibles in your for loop

 

Use different varibles try that see if it works

Using mktime like that is going to default to the current day of the current month

 

So you get Feb 31 , which is March 3 etc.

 

Use mktime (0,0,0, $m, 1, $date('Y'))

 

 

PS> or be patient and wait until tomorrow. It will work again then

OOOPS!

 

remove $ from $date

 

Use "mktime (0,0,0, $m, 1, date('Y'))"

 

 

(If you leave it it will fail again on August 31)
