It was just too tempting :-)

Hmm. I thought this should work as well. This morning, though, I had to fix
a bug where a combo box was displaying something like
"January"
"March"
"March"
"April"
"May"
"May"
...
The code was
<select name="lm">
<?php
for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++) {
echo "<option value=\"". $i. "\"";
echo ($i == $lm) ? " selected" : "";
echo ">". date ("F", mktime (3, 0, 0, $i)). "</option>";
}
?>
</select>
When I changed the mktime parameters to (3, 0, 0, $i, 1, 2002) it all worked
fine.
I think it's because it's the 31st today, and any months that don't have 31
days were getting screwed up (wouldn't mind hearing any other ideas though).
It seems like it's always a good idea to pass at least the day parameter to
mktime(), unless you enjoy unpredictable results ;-)
Cheers
Jon
