Set Default Value for input type month

Question

Is it possible for me to set the value of input = 'month'using php? I have seen that it is possible using javascript.. but I want to achieve it using php....

I'm trying to set a default value for the input = month.. however the value that I set doesn't take effect..

here's what I did.

when I tried to display it outside the element <?=date('F-Y')?> it displays the date and month just fine..

 <input type="month" value="<?=date('F-Y')?>"  class="form-control per_date_inputs"  name="month"/>

Answer 1

<input type="month" value="<?=date('Y-m')?>"  class="form-control per_date_inputs"  name="month"/>

Answer 2

Instead of

<input type="month" value="<?=date('F-Y')?>"  class="form-control per_date_inputs"  name="month"/>

Use this

<input type="month" value="<?=date('Y-m')?>"  class="form-control per_date_inputs"  name="month"/>
<input type="month" value="2016-03"  class="form-control per_date_inputs"  name="month"/>

input type=month takes "yyyy-mm" format only

Answer 3

If you wanna to make a code for default value for Date or Month; here is the solution:

• This is for Date:

  <input type="date" name="" id="" value="1982-10-25">
  

  Write the year first then, the month then, the day.

• This is for Month:

  <input type="month" name="" id="" value="1982-10">
  

  Write the year first then, the month.
