Convert Number to Month Name in PHP

Convert number to month name in PHP

The recommended way to do this:

Nowadays, you should really be using DateTime objects for any date/time math. This requires you to have a PHP version >= 5.2. As shown in Glavić's answer, you can use the following:

$monthNum  = 3;
$dateObj   = DateTime::createFromFormat('!m', $monthNum);
$monthName = $dateObj->format('F'); // March

The ! formatting character is used to reset everything to the Unix epoch. The m format character is the numeric representation of a month, with leading zeroes.

Alternative solution:

If you're using an older PHP version and can't upgrade at the moment, you could this solution.
The second parameter of date() function accepts a timestamp, and you could use mktime() to create one, like so:

$monthNum  = 3;
$monthName = date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $monthNum, 10)); // March

If you want the 3-letter month name like Mar, change F to M. The list of all available formatting options can be found in the PHP manual documentation.

Convert Month Name into Number With Different Languages?

If you can integrate the external class dt try this:

$visit_date = "7 Dezembro, 2019";

dt::setDefaultLanguage('pt');
$dt = dt::create($visit_date);

echo $dt->format('Y-m-d');//2019-12-07

Internally, the class creates a translation table for every month when setting the language. The IntlDateFormatter class is used for this.

Note: The IntlDateFormatter class works independently of the server's local settings.

<p class="sportName mydate p-date" style="color:white; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;" ><?php echo $el; ?></p>

To:

<p class="sportName mydate p-date" style="color:white; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;" >
  <?php 
    //echo $el;

    //convert date to month name
    $date = $el;
    $month_name =  ucfirst(strftime("%B", strtotime($date)));

First month number in a loop not being converted to a month name?

If you need mount in m format ('01' .. '02') you shold use string for avoid implict conversion .. then try

     switch($month_int){
         case '01':
          return 'Janeiro';
          break;
         case '02':
          return 'Fevereiro';
         .... 

otherwise th could be implicitally converted in

switch($month_int){
         case 1:
          return 'Janeiro';
          break;
         case 2:
          return 'Fevereiro';
          ...
