You want the following:

<select name="month">

<option <?php if (date("m")=="01") echo "selected" ?>value="01">Jan</option>

<option <?php if (date("m")=="02") echo "selected" ?>value="02">Feb</option>

... and so on...

</select>

Other tidier ways to do it using for loops too if you think about it.
