[RESOLVED] Explode date

SpecialFX

I'm trying to explode the date set up like this 09/24/2006.
However nothing happens it never adds the row.

$themonth = explode("/", $row['date']);
if($themonth[0] == 01) {
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>January</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 02){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>February</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 03){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>March</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 04){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>April</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 05){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>May</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 06){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>June</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 07){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>July</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 08){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>August</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 09){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>September</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 10){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>October</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 11){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>November</b></td></tr>';
} else if($themonth[0] == 12){
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>December</b></td></tr>';
}

DOn't forget to add the quotes:

if($themonth[0] == "01")

This would be easier and less code:

<?php

$themonth = explode("/", $row['date']);

switch($themonth[0]){
case "01":
$displayMonth = 'January';
break;
case "02":
$displayMonth = 'February';
break;
}

echo '<table><tr align="left" valign="top"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>'.$displayMonth.'</b></td></tr></table>';

Simpler still (no ifs or switches needed):

list($mo, $day, $yr) = explode('/', $date);
$monthName = date('F', strtotime("$yr/$mo/$day"));
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>'.$month.'</b></td></tr>';

Even simpler still (no explodes needed):

$month_name = date('F', strtotime($date));
echo '<tr align="left" valign="top" style="background: ' . nextColor() . '"><td colspan=4><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>'.$month_name.'</b></td></tr>';
