Hi April,

I think something similar to this post should work well:

Here is how I would adapt your code:

<form>
  <select name="archive" size="1" onchange="loadPage(this.form.elements[0])" target="_blank" onmouseclick="this.focus()" style="background-color:#ffffff">
    <option value="">Select an Archive</option>
    <?php $i = 1; ?>
    <?php while($i < 4): ?>
      <?php $dateVal = strtotime('-'.$i.' month'); ?>
      <option value="http://www.charlotteparent.com/aboutus/advertising/archives.php?date_year=<?php echo date('Y', $dateVal); ?>&date_month=<?php echo date('n', $dateVal); ?>">
        <?php echo date('Y F', $dateVal); ?>
      </option>
      <?php $i++; ?>
    <?php endwhile ?>
  </select>
</form> 

So $i is used as a counter for the month. Then loop through each value for $i while it's less than 4. $i is then used to convert the month into a date value. This date value is used to display the month in various formats for each option.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Greg
