mktime() throwing errors - use time() instead

I was using codes below to display months and years in a form but with a PHP upgrade it's throwing E_STRICT notice: errors saying I should use the time() function instead. How can I modify these code and still get what these were providing?

PHP Code:

---

for($m = 1;$m <= 12; $m++)
{
$month = date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1));
        echo "<option value='$m'>$month</option>";
}


for ($x=(date('Y', mktime())); $x >= 1960; $x--)
{
    echo "<option value='$x'>$x</option>";
}

Thanks

mktime() only thows that warning when used with no arguments. In that case, just remove the "mk". :) However, in your case, there's no reason to even be calling either one here:

PHP Code:

---

for ($x=(date('Y', mktime())); $x >= 1960; $x--)

The default time for date() is the current time, which is what [mk]time() with no arguments will return, so you can just do:

PHP Code:

---

for ($x=(date('Y'); $x >= 1960; $x--)
