Create dynamic <select> with PHP -


i have $_session variable $_session['invoicedate'] populated value representing yyyymm.

i need dynamically build select element have 6 options going 'invoicedate' e.g. if $_session['invoicedate'] = 201602 output should be...

<select id="invoicedate" name="invoicedate">     <option value="201602">feb 2016</option>     <option value="201601">jan 2016</option>     <option value="201512">dec 2015</option>     <option value="201511">nov 2015</option>     <option value="201510">oct 2015</option>     <option value="201509">sep 2015</option> </select> 

my php basic... can split session value , assign first 4 digits $year , other 2 $month. loop 6 times... each time echo output <option> line concatenating year , month make value , subtracting 1 month , if month=0 take 1 year , make month 12. gives me....

    <option value="201602"></option>     <option value="201601"></option>     <option value="201512"></option>     <option value="201511"></option>     <option value="201510"></option>     <option value="201509"></option> 

now can join year , month hyphen give

    <option value="201602">2016-02</option>     <option value="201601">2016-01</option>     <option value="201512">2015-12</option>     <option value="201511">2015-11</option>     <option value="201510">2015-10</option>     <option value="201509">2015-09</option> 

but how month year instead... e.g. feb 2016 instead of 2016-02?

why aren't using datetime?

$e = '201602'; $date = new datetime($e); echo $date->format('m'); 

outputs feb

in case be

$e = '201602'; $date = new datetime($e); $month = $date->format('n');  for($i=0;$i<6;$i++) {    echo '<option value="'.$date->format('ym').'">'.$date->format('m y').'</option>';    $date = $date->sub(new dateinterval('p1m')); } 

this outputs

<option value="201602">feb 2016</option> <option value="201601">jan 2016</option> <option value="201512">dec 2015</option> <option value="201511">nov 2015</option> <option value="201510">oct 2015</option> <option value="201509">sep 2015</option> 

just edit need , don't use infernal version of date strtotime...
