The default for day/year would be today's, which is the 31st and 1999.

PHP then wraps your dates intelligently:
February 31, 1999 ==> Mar 3, 1999
April 31, 1999 ==> May 1, 1999
.
.
.

Simply specify a day of 1 to be sure it's valid.

PS You're lucky you wrote this today and not tomorrow. You wouldn't have
found the bug for about a month. Fun. :-)

><option VALUE=1>Jan</option>
><option VALUE=2>Mar</option>
><option VALUE=3>Mar</option>
><option VALUE=4>May</option>
><option VALUE=5>May</option>

><option VALUE=7>Jul</option>
