find all months by mktime

Question

I can select all records of recent month from database using,

$month = (mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),1)); 
$q="SELECT * FROM table WHERE timestamp>$month";

This query will generate August's(recent month) records. I have to select all records of each month(January/February../July).

How can I select all other month's details?

Thanks!

safety tips : change the column name bcoz timestamp is mySQL reserve keyword and it will lead to confusion , otherwise always use ` with column name.

i asuume that dateColumn datatype is datetime

<select name ="month" >
 <option value="1"> January </option>
 ...
</select>

now get the value of selected Month

$month = $_POST['month']; // means integer value of month ( 1,2,3..12)

then try with mySQL MONTH()

SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE MONTH(`dateColumn` ) = $month

edit

if you store timestamp value in dateColumn then use this

SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(`dateColumn`)) = $month
