Question

    $month_options=\"\";
    for( $i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++ ) {
        $month_num = str_pad( $i, 2, 0, STR_P         


        

Answer 1

Why not use DateTime objects instead? They are easier to work with, and easier to manipulate. DateTime is available from PHP5.2 and upwards.

This snippet

$date = new DateTime("january");
for ($i = 1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
    echo $date->format("F")."\n";
    $date->modify("+1 months");
}

would output

January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December
