Why does it show jan when I select nov or dec?

[pavankat]

I'm going insane. whenever I select Oct, Nov, Dec from the drop down it doesn't show the corresponding month appropriately.

 

I do this in the code and it shows 10, 11 or 12 corresponding to oct, nov, dec but then it shows no month if it's october, january if it's november or december. Help me please.

 

echo '<br /><br /> form month var dump: ';

var_dump($form_month);

 

 

 

$time = time();
$actual_month = date('m', $time);
$actual_year = date('Y', $time);
$word_month = date('M', $time);
$word_year = date('Y', $time);

  if (isset($_POST['form_month']) && isset($_POST['form_year']) && !empty($_POST['form_month']) && !empty($_POST['form_year']) )
        {
	$form_month = $_POST['form_month']; //multidimensional array but it should have only one value in it at a time I think
	$form_year = $_POST['form_year'];

	echo '<br /><br /> form month var dump: ';
	var_dump($form_month);
	//echo '<br /><br />'. $form_month['1'];

	$insert_month = $form_month['0']; //maybe this will work
	$insert_year = $form_year;
}else{
	$insert_month = $actual_month;
	$insert_year = $actual_year;
}

// I don't know how to convert the number 01 to Jan - so i'm doing this:
$wtf_word_month = "";

switch ($insert_month) {
    case 1:
        $wtf_word_month = "Jan";
        break;
    case 2:
        $wtf_word_month = "Feb";
        break;
    case 3:
        $wtf_word_month = "Mar";
        break;
    case 4:
        $wtf_word_month = "Apr";
        break;
    case 5:
        $wtf_word_month = "May";
        break;
    case 6:
        $wtf_word_month = "June";
        break;
    case 7:
        $wtf_word_month = "July";
        break;
    case 8:
        $wtf_word_month = "Aug";
        break;
    case 9:
        $wtf_word_month = "Sep";
        break;
    case 10:
        $wtf_word_month = "Oct";
        break;
    case 11:
        $wtf_word_month = "Nov";
        break;
    case 12:
        $wtf_word_month = "Dec";
        break;
}


?>

Your "maybe this will work" is causing the problem. $form_month is a string, not an array, and when you [] a string you get one of its characters...
