quick date question

scrupul0us

i feel so stupid asking this but i cant figure out a simple solution... using this for loop:

for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++)
{


}

how would i get the name of the month respecive to $i and dump them out?

i was going ot build a small array to hold the month names... but thats so javascript and likely unneccessary

thanks 😃

PHP has arrays, too.

LOL... of COURSE php has arrays... i was being sarcastic... im just saying JS has crappy date functions and to have to make an array just to hold the month names seems off... there should be a date function where i can pass the month number and get the name... but maybe the array is the best way...

Well its not hard to use combination of date() and mktime() functions to get the month name:

function text_month($month) {
        if ($month>0 && $month<13)  

                return(date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, 2000)));
        else
                return;
}

echo text_month(12); // Prints December
