If I change my date value to m instead of M, that would only affect the
visual month representation that they see, and not the "selected" value that
I want to input into my database though....right?

I have the following code which populates a dropdown box so a user can
select a month. They see the month name and the SELECTED value is the
corresponding numeric value 1-12 for the month. However, the selected
value for January would be 1. I need the selected value fro January to
be
01. How would I accomplish this?
<select name="month">
<?PHP
for ($m=1;$m<=12;$m++)
{
$months=date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1));
if ($m == $_POST['month'])
echo "<option value=\"{$m}\" SELECTED>{$months}</option>";
else
echo "<option value=\"$m\">$months</option>";
}
?>
</select>
