They only way the select box would pass the value to $month in
mmonth.php would be if register_globals were set to "on" - which is a
huge security hole.
Rather, you should have register_globals set to "off" (which it probably
is since you don't see the value passed) and you can find the value in
$_POST['month'].
And next time you might try posting to ONE or TWO newsgroups.
