How do I do this?

Anon

With getdate() I get the date and I create a variable named $month, which contains the month of this month. But that's in English and I want it in Dutch. So I either have to get the date in Dutch or I have to adapt the variable;
If the $month contains March, it has to Maart. And if $month contains May, it has to be Mei.
Does anybody knows a solution?

This should do what you want. You'd have to change the names of the months to the language of your choice of course.

I hope this makes sense to you. Please email me with any questions.

<?php

//Creates an array of months. Starts the index at 1 instead of 0 for compatibility with getdate()
$month = array ('1' => 'January','February','March','April','May','June','July','August','September','October','November','December');

//Assigns the date to a variable.
$today = getdate();

//$today['mon'] is the current month in numeric form.
//$month[$today['mon']] pulls out the value from the $month array corresponding to an index of the current month.
echo $month[$today['mon']];
