Okay, when I try the sprintf I get the following error when I try to save my form Incorrect syntax near 's'. <select name="month"> <?PHP

    $months=date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 2));
    echo "<option value=\"sprintf('%02s', $m)\">$months</option>";

try: echo "<option value=\".sprintf('%02s', $m)."\">$months</option>"; your trying to call a function inside of a string... oops..typo, forgot the additional {"}

echo "<option value=\"".sprintf('%02s', $m)."\">$months</option>";
