Formatting Dates example 01 - January
I am trying to convert a two digit Month (01,02 etc...) to (January, February etc..)
This is what I have, but it doesn't work:
$month = "02";
$date = strtotime($month);
$New_Month = date("F",$date);
Can anyone help? Thanks

Well, I would do it with smt like this :
$mth = 14; //for example..skips december and go back to january
//you must fill in all the arguments if you want to make use of date function ;)
$month = date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $mth+1 , 0 ,0)); //plus 1 because month's array starts from 0
echo "month number is= $mth and month name is $month ";
//result will be : month number is= 14 and month name is February
$mth = 14; //for example..skips december and go back to january
//you must fill in all the arguments if you want to make use of date function ;)
$month = date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $mth+1 , 0 ,0)); //plus 1 because month's array starts from 0
echo "month number is= $mth and month name is $month ";
//result will be : month number is= 14 and month name is February
$date = strtotime($month . "/01/01");
