[RESOLVED] Convert single digit to month name

[zzz]

I have a value

$month = 1;

It's 1-12. I'd like to convert it to a month name, say $month=1 echo "January";

It's not a date, just a numeric value.

I also have an array that I can access. Shall I use that of is there an easier way?

$months = array("1" => "January", "2" => "February", "3" => "March", "4" => "April", "5" => "May", "6" => "June", "7" => "July", "8" => "August", "9" => "September", "10" => "October", "11" => "November", "12" => "December");

If I need to use the array is it something like:

foreach ($months as $key => $value)
{
if ($key == $month) {
									echo $value;
}
}

😕

if you want to use the array, simply say:
echo $months[$month];

You can skip the array, however, by saying:
echo date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,1997));

I think I wa looking for this second solution. What does ,1,1997 do thought?
