Echo month name from numeric value

I am tring to show a month name dependant on a numeric value. So if 11, show November, if 9 show September and so on.

Here is my code:

 $month=$_GET["q"];             


if($month['month'] == '11')
{
  echo"November";
}

if($month['month'] == '10')
{
  echo"October";
}

     if($month['month'] == '9')
{
  echo"September";
}

This doesn't show anything? Can anyone help?

You can simply use string to time.

$month=$_GET["q"]; 
echo date('F', strtotime('2012-' . $month . '-01'));

This will give you the full name of the month dependent of what number the month variable is assigned.

Strtotime requires the date, hence why 2012 etc is in there also, albeit irrelevant to the output.

If $_GET['q'] has your month number, you need to use only $month and not $month['month'].

Probably, this is best way to achieve your result using Non-OOP PHP:

$month = $_GET['q'];
$monthName = date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month));
echo $monthName;

because $_GET["q"] can't be an array, so you can't use $month['month'], use $month directly

and instead of so many if else you can use, the following code to echo month name directly.

$monthName = date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month));
echo $monthName;

More details at http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php and http://php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php

here in your case $month is variable not a array so try to use like this...

    if($month=='11')
        echo 'Nov';

It will like this

if($month == '11') {

}

Because you are directly assigning the GET value to $month.Assuemed that q will be the month name.

$month = date('n');

 if($month == '11') 
    {
      echo "November";
    }
    if($month == '10')
     {
      echo "November";
    }

make sure you get the correct value eg:10,11... for month variable

There's no need to create multiple if statements. You can simply use DateTime::createFromFormat to achieve this:

$month_number = (int) $_GET["q"]; 
if($month_number > 0 && $month_number <= 12)
    echo DateTime::createFromFormat('m', $month_number)->format('F');

Try This:

$monthArr = array('1'=>'Jan','2'=>'Feb');
echo $monthArr[$month];
