Hello All

How do I get name of the month from 'January' to 'December' dynamically.

Please help me.

You need to place them into an array.

<?php
# Making the month array
$months = array(1 => "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
?>

If you use this form of array in a form then the values come out as digits.

<select name="month"><option value="1">January</option>
<option value="2">February</option>
<option value="3">March</option>
<option value="4">April</option>
<option value="5">May</option>
<option value="6">June</option>
<option value="7">July</option>
<option value="8">August</option>
<option value="9">September</option>
<option value="10">October</option>
<option value="11">November</option>
<option value="12">December</option>
</select>
