How often do we need to tell you that you should reread your posts 
before sending them?
You start with telling us you have problems with "month" and then show 
us code regarding "year"

As with most of your problems you are barking up the wrong tree.
Why not use the actual value you get from the form to check whether you 
have a valid month?
Do you understand why "0" is submitted instead of "=========="?
