Is there a way to include wildcard characters in a php if statement?

I have some tables that are named with the following format:

Month_Year

Then, I am trying to match the current month with only the month of the table name (excluding the year).

I would like to have an if statement, like this:

if($month == ("January_" . %)){
do something
}

But when I do that, I keep getting errors

Any suggestions?

Thanks
