title: Set Default Value for input type month
body: <p>Is it possible for me to set the value of <code>input = 'month'</code>using php? I have seen that it is possible using javascript.. but I want to achieve it using php....</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to set a default value for the <code>input = month</code>..
  however the value that I set doesn't take effect..</p>
  
  <p>here's what I did.</p>
  
  <p>when I tried to display it outside the element <code>&lt;?=date('F-Y')?&gt;</code> it displays the date and month just fine..</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;input type="month" value="&lt;?=date('F-Y')?&gt;"  class="form-control per_date_inputs"  name="month"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
