One more easy date question

[jeff5656]

Lets say I have a variable

$test = 05

 

Now I want to echo: May in this case since that's the 5th month.

How would I do this?

I tried

echo date("M",$test);

 

but that didn't work

There are several ways, here's one...

 

echo date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$test,0,0));

echo date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$test,0,0));

 

Though it'll have to be

echo date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$test,1,0));

because days aren't zero-indexed.

Ahh, good point. I was concentrating more on making sure I had the right about of arguments rather than thinking about what they actually were
