Hello im trying to update the values of a form using php my current code is this

<html>

<head>
<?php
function provincias($mes)
{

$mes = $_POST["month"];


$provinces = array("jan", "feb", "mar", "apr", "may", "jun", "jul", "aug", "sep", "oct", "nov", "dic");

echo $provinces[$mes];


}
provincias($mes)


?>


</head>



<body>

<form id="monthForm" name="monthForm" method="post" action="monthAbbrev.php">

<p>Enter the number for the month of the year here (0 is January):**

<input type="text" id="month" name="month" /></p>

<p>

<input type="submit" value="What is the abbreviation?" name="submit" />

</p>

<p>Answer:*<input type="text" id="abbrev" name="abbrev" /></p>

</form>



</body>

</html>


So basically the user enters a number and that is mapped into the array and it gets the month which needs to be written in the answer textbox

I know how to the the values using POST but is there a way to return the value and write it in the text box?

Thanks
