[SOLVED] Number to represent it's month

[hostfreak]

Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to take a number and format it to represent the corresponding month. For example:

 

Say you have 01 (which we know would be January). How can I format it to be January? I am retrieving months from a datecolumn in a database with the mysql month() function.

 

edit: I have discovered the mysql monthname() function, however I need to keep the value of the months as a number, so that wont work.

Sure, use the date and strtotime functions:

 

<?php
$month = 01;
echo date('F',strtotime("$month/01"));
?>

Ah, thanks GingerRobot.
