Hello,

I'm trying to create an archive widget with 12 links representing each month. I would like the list to start from last month and run in reverse order. So (as we are currently in March) it would look like this...

  • February
  • January
  • December
  • November
  • October
  • etc...
  • etc..
  • March

Next month (April)  March would jump from the bottom up to the top of the list.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Perch

Here's some code that I've used to create a list of months that might help

<select name="month">  
  <?php foreach(range(1,12) as $month): ?>  
  <option value="<?php echo $month;?> <?php selectedIf($month,@$_REQUEST['month']);?>"><?php echo date("F",strtotime("1985-$month-01 00:00:00"));?></option>  
  <?php endforeach ?>  
</select>

There's also an interesting discussion at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22735071/display-a-list-of-past-11-months-from-current-date
