Printing an integer

I have the user input a date, e.g. 'January 10 12' signifying the month, day and year. It works fine if the month is a two digit number, however if the user enters 'January 12 01' or any number with 0 in the front of it I just get 'January 12 1' if the month was 01 or 'January 12 0' if the month was 00 instead of what I input. Is there some form of formatting going wrong?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef int (*compfn)(const void*, const void*);

struct date
{
    int month;
    int day; //The day of the month (e.g. 18)
    int year; //The year of the date    
};

char* months[]= {
   "January", "February",
   "March", "April",
   "May", "June",
   "July", "August",
   "September", "October",
   "November", "December"};


int getMonth(char tempMonth[])
{
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[0]) == 0) return 0;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[1]) == 0) return 1;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[2]) == 0) return 2;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[3]) == 0) return 3;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[4]) == 0) return 4;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[5]) == 0) return 5;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[6]) == 0) return 6;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[7]) == 0) return 7;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[8]) == 0) return 8;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[9]) == 0) return 9;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[10]) == 0) return 10;
    if(strcmp(tempMonth, months[11]) == 0) return 11;
}

int sortDates(struct date *elem1, struct date *elem2)
{
    if ( elem1->year < elem2->year)
        return -1;
    else if ( elem1->year > elem2->year )
        return 1;


    /* here you are sure the years are equal, so go on comparing the months */

    if ( elem1->month < elem2->month )
        return -1;
    else if ( elem1->month > elem2->month )
        return 1; 

    /* here you are sure the months are equal, so go on comparing the days */

    if ( elem1->day < elem2->day )
        return -1;
    else if ( elem1->day > elem2->day )
        return 1; 
    else
        return 0;

}

main()
{
    int n;
    int i;
    char tempMonth[255]; //Used to store the month until checked

    scanf("%d", &n);

    struct date *list;

    list = (struct date *)malloc((n * sizeof(struct date)));

    for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        scanf("%s %d %d", tempMonth, &list[i].day, &list[i].year);
        list[i].month = getMonth(tempMonth);
    }

    qsort(list, n, sizeof(struct date), (compfn)sortDates);

    for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        printf("%s %d %d\n", months[list[i].month], list[i].day, list[i].year);
    }

}

If you want to always output at least two digits, with zeros in front, use the %02d format string instead of %d.
