[SOLVED] list month in an array ???

[teng84]

is there a predefine function that will list all months?

the existing code here uses this

$month['Month'] = " ";
  $month['Jan'] = "1";
  $month['Feb'] = "2";
  $month['Mar'] = "3";
$month['Apr'] = "4 ";
  $month['May'] = "5";
  $month['Jun'] = "6";
  $month['Jul'] = "7";
$month['Aug'] = "8";
  $month['Sep'] = "9";
  $month['Oct'] = "10";
  $month['Nov'] = "11";
  $month['Dec'] = "12";

 

i wonder if i can have a predefine function that will do something like that

I am pretty sure you have to create your own arrays when dealing with months.

i also think that way but is there any shorter way to do this i hate this thing it consumes more lines and it looks messy

Make your own functions so you only need to call it once.

im will put that in the function and i will only use that once but i just want to see "if any" other way of doing this

Guess there's no easy way but im not a time & date expert. What u can do to "automate" the proccess is by using a code like this:

<?php
$months = array();
for($i=1; $i <= 12; $i++){
$M = date("M", mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 0, 0));
$m = date("m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 0, 0));
$months[$M] = $m;
}
print_r($months);
?>

no predefine function so i guess i have to mark this solve anyways thanks guys

@GuiltyGear i also thought about this as the last option but thanks again nice try  ;D ;D ;D
