Month Select

Zend\Form\Element\MonthSelect is meant to be paired with the Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormMonthSelect. This element creates two select elements, where the first one is populated with months and the second is populated with years. By default, it sets 100 years in the past for the year element, starting with the current year.

Basic Usage

use Zend\Form\Element;
use Zend\Form\Form;

$monthYear = new Element\MonthSelect('monthyear');
$monthYear->setLabel('Select a month and a year');
$monthYear->setMinYear(1986);

$form = new Form('dateselect');
$form->add($monthYear);

Using the array notation:

use Zend\Form\Form;

$form = new Form('dateselect');
$form->add(array(
    'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\MonthSelect',
    'name' => 'monthyear',
    'options' => array(
        'label' => 'Select a month and a year',
        'min_year' => 1986,
    )
));
