comparing months not working

[whatchamakeofit]

hi. i have the following code:

$now=getdate();
$currMonth = $now["month"];
$currYear = $now["year"];
$currDay = $now["mday"];
for($i=1; $i<=12; $i++){
$month = date("F",mktime (0, 0, 0, $i));
if ($month == $currMonth)
echo "<option value='".$month ."' selected='selec ted'>".$month." </
option>";
else
echo "<option value='".$month ."'>".$month ."</option>";
}

all i want to do is dynamically output a selection box containing all
the months of the year, and have the selection default to the current
month. however, i'm not sure why it's not working. please help.
thanks

Why not using $now['mon']; ? 1-12
And later if ($i == $now['mon']) ?

Re: comparing months not working

thx, that works!

but, i'm still wondering, why wouldn't my previous code work?
