convert date

[dreamwest]

Im trying to get a number to represent a date name

 

date('F'); // january

date('n'); //january = 1

 

So

 

01 = January

02 = Feburary

 

etc...

 

$mth = 02;

$mth_name= ; //convert numeric to month name

echo $mh_name; //  Feburary

You would use a simple look-up array -

 

<?php
// note: leading zero's make numbers octal, so to avoid problems with 08 and 09, two-character strings are used
$mth_name = array('01' => 'January', '02' => 'February'); // add the rest of the months
$mth = '02';
echo $mth_name[$mth];
?>
