ok. try this.
ahven't tested it though ...
<form name="thisForm" action = "<?php print $PHP_SELF ?>">
?<php
// to dump out the months
$months = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
echo '<select name="sortMonth" onChange="document.thisForm.Submit()"';
for ($x=1; $x <= count($months); $x++)
{
print "\t<option value=\"$x\" ";
print ($x == $month) ? " SELECTED":" ";
print ">".$months[$x-1]."\n";
}
echo ' </select> ';
?>
then something like (pref before the dump of months)
<?php
if (isset($sortMonth))
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_cal WHERE item_activity='$id' AND
DATE_FORMAT('item_date','%b')='$sortMonth'";
// then the rest of the code for the query
}
the real crux is that the var whihc is the name of the <select> will be
populated when the form refreshes and then isset() will say it has a value
and drop inside to create the query. that way you avoid an expensive if or
or or or ...
