I would bet money that someone has done exactly this:
I am using PHP and I want to populate a list box with month items (e.g. August-2002, July-2002, June-2002 etc. etc.) These months will be for 12 months in the past and 12 months in the future from the current month. This will give a listbox with 24 items. The selected months will of course be stored in a database.
I am presuming jacascript to create the dates and PHP to fill the box??????
Please help!

I'm sure you could do something like that in javascript but wouldn't it be easier, and more flexible, to just create a table called month, containing 12 months and a table called year, containing years, and make two listboxes> one with months and one with years?

Thanks for the reply RonB! A good solution except that it requires the user to select twice (month and year). I got the solution I wanted from Walker at CodeCharge and maybe someone else will want to do this sometime so here is the solution:
In the list values of the listbox, put the following PHP code:
". date(m, mktime (0,0,0,date("m")+2,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date('F - Y', mktime (0,0,0,date("m")+2,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date(m, mktime (0,0,0,date("m")+1,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date('F - Y', mktime (0,0,0,date("m")+1,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date(m, mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date('F - Y', mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
" .date(m, mktime (0,0,0,date("m")-1,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date('F - Y', mktime (0,0,0,date("m")-1,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date(m, mktime (0,0,0,date("m")-2,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
". date('F - Y', mktime (0,0,0,date("m")-2,date("d"), date("Y"))) .";
etc. etc. Thanks to Walker!
