PHP: Populating an array with the names of the next 12 months

Question

for($x=0; $x<12; $x++)
{
    $month = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(\"m\")+$x, date(\"d\"),  date(\"Y\"));
    $key = date(\'m\', $month);
    $monthname = date(\'F\', $mo         


        

Answer 1

Here is a simple script to go forward 12 months from the current date. It includes the year with it.

# Set Number of Months to Traverse
$num_months = 12;

# Set Current Month as the 1st
$current_month = date('Y-m').'-01';

for ($count = 0; $count <= $num_months; $count++) {
    # Fetch Date for each as YYYY-MM-01
    $dates[] = date('Y-m', strtotime($current_month.' + '.$count.' Months')).'-01';
}

You could turn this into a select list with the current month selected by dropping this in:

echo '';

foreach ($dates as $d) {
    echo ''.date('F, Y', strtotime($d)).'';
}

echo '';
