Jon,
Just had to do almost exactly this - here's one solution. The tricky bit was
getting the number of days in the month - you have to look at next month!
This generates a list for 12 months starting with the current month and outputs
display stuff as well. In our scenario this is passed to a script which grabs
records from a database and produces a report for the month selected and the
previous month so the range of values is always for 2 months. Ours goes
backwards - you'll need to adjust it to run forwards.
<select name="strReportMonth" size="1">
<? // Get This Month
$strThisMonth = date('m');
$strThisYear = date('Y');
// convert to integer
$strThisMonth++;
$strNextMonth = $strThisMonth;
$strPrevYear = $strThisYear;
for($i=0;$i<=12;$i++) {
$strThisMonth--;
if($strNextMonth == 0) {
$strNextMonth = 12;
}
if($strNextMonth == 13) {
$strNextMonth = 1;
}
// How many days in this month
$lastday = mktime (0,0,0,$strNextMonth,0,$strThisYear);
$last = strftime ("%d", $lastday);
$strThisMonthTS = mktime (0,0,0,$strNextMonth,0,$strThisYear);
$strThisMonthName = strftime ("%B", $strThisMonthTS);
$strNextMonth--;
if($strThisMonth == 0) {
$strThisMonth = 12;
$strThisYear--;
}
$strPrevMonth = $strThisMonth -1;
if($strPrevMonth == 0) {
$strPrevMonth = 12;
$strPrevYear--;
}
$strPrevMonthTS = mktime (0,0,0,$strThisMonth,0,$strPrevYear);
$strPrevMonthName = strftime ("%B", $strPrevMonthTS);
if($strPrevMonth < 10) {
$strPrevMonth = "0".$strPrevMonth;
}
if($strThisMonth < 10) {
$strThisMonth = "0".$strThisMonth;
}
?>
<option value="<? print
$strPrevMonth."/01/".$strPrevYear."|".$strThisMonth."/".$last."/".$strThisYear."|".$strThisMonthName."|".$strThisYear."|".$strPrevMonth."|".$strThisMonth."|".$strPrevMonthName."|".$strPrevYear;
?>"><? print $strThisMonthName." ".$strThisYear; ?>
<?
}
?>
</select>
