PHP Creating select box starting from current month
<p>I have a select box with the following values ( months of the year ):</p>

<pre><code>&lt;label for="select_month"&gt;Month: &lt;/label&gt;
&lt;select id="select_month" name="month"&gt;
&lt;option value="01"&gt;01&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="02"&gt;02&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="03"&gt;03&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="04"&gt;04&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="05"&gt;05&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="06"&gt;06&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="07"&gt;07&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="08"&gt;08&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="09"&gt;09&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="10"&gt;10&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="11"&gt;11&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="12"&gt;12&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>What I would like to achieve is to get with PHP the current month, and make that as default-selected option in my select box.</p>

<p>How can I do that with a clean code?</p>
