RE: [PHP] Trouble creating a list on months From: Matthew Loff (matt <email protected>)
Date: 07/31/01

Oops! I forgot to include the parameter...

function month_select($month)
{
        echo "<select name=\"month\">\n";

        $month_names = array(1 => "January", 2 => "February", 3 =>
"March",
                4 => "April", 5 => "May", 6 => "June", 7 => "July",
                8 => "August", 9 => "September", 10 => "October",
                11 => "November", 12 => "December");

        if(!isset($month)) $month = (int)strftime("%m");

        for($num_months = 0; $num_months < 12; $num_months++)
        {
                echo "\t<option>" . $month_names[$month] .
"</option>\n";
                $month = ($month == 12? 1 : $month + 1);
        }

        echo "</select>\n";
}

I didn't get a chance to test this, but you get the idea...

Good luck.

Subject: [PHP] Trouble creating a list on months

Hello everyone,

This is my first posting. I'm hoping someone can help figure this
out. I'm using a GNU licensed calendar but there is a bug in it's
process for building a list of months.

The list is supposed to build a list of months starting with the
current month and adding 11 months to the list. In theory, If this
is July the <select> should be as follows:

<select>
        <option>July</option>
        <option>August</option>
        <option>September</option>
        <option>October</option>
        <option>November</option>
        <option>December</option>
        <option>January</option>
        <option>Februrary</option>
        <option>March</option>
        <option>April</option>
        <option>May</option>
        <option>June</option>
</select>

The process of building this list is done in a defined function in a
'Required' inclusion of a file.

The problem is that the list gets built as follows:

<select>
        <option>July</option>
        <option>August</option>
        <option>October</option>
        <option>October</option>
        <option>December</option>
        <option>December</option>
        <option>January</option>
        <option>March</option>
        <option>March</option>
        <option>May</option>
        <option>May</option>
        <option>July</option>
</select>

The function gets called as follows:
----------------------------------------------------
<? month_select($month); ?>
----------------------------------------------------

$month is defined just before the (above) call as follows:
----------------------------------------------------
if(!isset($month)) $month=date("n");
----------------------------------------------------

The actual function is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------
function month_select($default=1) {

   $offset = date("n")-1; // value used to be 'm'

   echo ("<select name=month
style=\"font-family:Verdana,Helvetica;font-size:8pt;\">");
   for($x=1;$x<=12;$x++) {
     $month = $x + $offset;
     if($month>12) $month -= 12;
     echo("<option value=$month");
     if($month==$default) echo(" selected");
     echo(">".date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$month))."</option>");
   }
   echo ("</select>");
}
----------------------------------------------------

Any Ideas what could be causing the problem? I'm new to this and
have been staring at it for a while. Your help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mario Salinas
