I've got so far, and it seems to be working to some degree, but there are a few things it's doing that I don't know how to fix.
The thing I really have no idea how to fix is when September or August are requested: it returns posts for the whole year, as if $month was set to 00 (see code below).
I don't think this is being caused by wordpress, because if Sep or Aug are requested, the $title is as if the whole year were requested, and $title is set by my script, not wordpress.
Also, if there's anyone familiar with wordpress, is there a way to override the posts-per-page setting in the request below? So far the script only returns 15 posts, but I'd like it to return all the posts available.
<?php
require('wp-blog-header.php');
$currentYear = date(Y);
$currentMonth = date(m);
// Convert the month digits into the month's name
function titlify($switchThis) {
switch ($switchThis) {
case 00 : return "the year "; break;
case 01 : return "January "; break;
case 02 : return "February "; break;
case 03 : return "March "; break;
case 04 : return "April "; break;
case 05 : return "May "; break;
case 06 : return "June "; break;
case 07 : return "July "; break;
case 08 : return "August "; break;
case 09 : return "September "; break;
case 10 : return "October "; break;
case 11 : return "November "; break;
case 12 : return "December "; break;
}
}
// Convert 3-letter into 2 digits
function name2num($switchThis) {
switch ($switchThis) {
case "all" : return 00; break;
case "jan" : return 01; break;
case "feb" : return 02; break;
case "mar" : return 03; break;
case "apr" : return 04; break;

case "dec" : return 12; break;
default : return false;
}
}
// if no GET, set year and month to current
if ($_GET['year']=="" && $_GET['month']=="") {
$year = $currentYear;
$month = $currentMonth;
$title = "Archive for " . titlify($month) . $year; }
// otherwise use GET

$getYear = $_GET['year'];
$getMonth = name2num($_GET['month']); // month is provided as letters, needs to be digits to match currentMonth

Many thanks, apologies for the large block of code :S

[edit reason] generalized ulr per TOS [webmasterworld.com] [/edit]
EDIT: the problem was caused by storing the months as double digits, I changed them all to single ones and it went away (e.g. september changed from 09 to just 9).
