Double March , no February in PHP date

Greetings,

For some reason the code below is producing (2) Marches and no February in the dropdown. Can some experts lend advice?

Jan
Mar
Mar
April
May
etc

		<select name=month>
		<?
		for($m = '1'; $m <= '12'; $m++)
		{
			$MonthWord = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m,date(d),date(Y)));

			if($m == date(n) || $m == $_POST[month])
			{
				echo "<option value=$m selected>$MonthWord</option>";	
			}
			else
			{
				echo "<option value=$m>$MonthWord</option>";	
			}
		}
		?>
		</select>

		&nbsp;

		<select name=day>
		<?
		for($d = '1'; $d <= '31'; $d++)
		{
			if($d == date(j) || $d == $_POST[day])
			{
				echo "<option value=$d selected>$d</option>";	
			}
			else
			{
				echo "<option value=$d>$d</option>";	
			}
		}
		?>
		</select>		

		&nbsp;

		<select name=year>
		<?
		for($y = '2005'; $y <= date(Y); $y++)
		{
			if($y == date(Y) || $y == $_POST[year])
			{
				echo "<option value=$y selected>$y</option>\n";	
			}
			else
			{
				echo "<option value=$y>$y</option>\n";	
			}
		}
		?>
		</select>

Code (markup):

 

I would start by fixing all the missing quotes

 

i am a newbie, can you point out which ones?

 

Well first off there is no Feb 29th or Feb 30th so that would not work from the 29th on in any month...

try this instead:

<?php
$day=1;
$year=date(Y);
$year=2008;
for($mon=1; $mon<=12; $mon++)
{
echo "<option>".date('F',mktime(0,0,0,$mon,$day,$year))."</option>\n";
}
?>

Code (markup):

 

$MonthWord = date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m,1));

This resolved it as well. thanks everyone for the help.

 

It is very important to understand WHY that worked.

I posted the code so you can learn form it with an explanation as to why yours failed.

As you just saw sometimes you can be a little too dynamic.

Have a great day.

 

agreed, thanks a bunch
