date('M', strtotime( $timestamp ));

Swap M with any of the following:

  • F -- A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March. (January through December)
  • m -- Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros (01 through 12)
  • M -- A short textual representation of a month, three letters (Jan through Dec)
  • n -- Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros (1 through 12)
  • t -- Number of days in the given month (28 through 31)

 $date_from = $_POST['timestamp'];
 $month_from = substr($date_from,strpos($date_from,'/'),2);
 $date_to = $_POST['timestamp1'];
 $month_to = substr($date_to,strpos($date_to,'/'),2);
