comparing months not working

hi. i have the following code:
>
$now=getdate();
$currMonth = $now["month"];
$currYear = $now["year"];
$currDay = $now["mday"];
for($i=1; $i<=12; $i++){
$month = date("F",mktime(0, 0, 0, $i));
if ($month == $currMonth)
echo "<option value='".$month."' selected='selected'>".$month."</
option>";
else
echo "<option value='".$month."'>".$month."</option>";
}
>
all i want to do is dynamically output a selection box containing all
the months of the year, and have the selection default to the current
month. however, i'm not sure why it's not working. please help.
thanks

Why not using $now['mon']; ? 1-12
And later if ($i == $now['mon']) ?
