Does anyone know a simple way to extract the month
from the current date?

Something like this ought to do it:

<?PHP
$date = "YYYY-MM-DD";
list ($year, $month, $day) = split("-", $date);
echo $month;
?>

Hey mate -

Few ways to do it obviously depending if you want leading zeros or not...

• date(m); // will give you month with leading zeros -> 01, 02, 03
• date(n); // will give you month without leading zeros -> 1, 2, 3
• date(M); // will give you abbreviated month names -> Jan, Feb, etc

Full month names can be derived from the elements in the getdate() array.

• month

Hope this helps -

Cheers
