PHP: Populating an array with the names of the next 12 months

Question

for($x=0; $x<12; $x++)
{
    $month = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(\"m\")+$x, date(\"d\"),  date(\"Y\"));
    $key = date(\'m\', $month);
    $monthname = date(\'F\', $mo         


        

Answer 1

An alternative would be to use strtotime:

for ($x=0; $x < 12; $x++) {

    $time = strtotime('+' . $x . ' months', strtotime(date('Y-M' . '-01')));
    $key = date('m', $time);
    $name = date('F', $time);
    $months[$key] = $name;
}

In my opinion this code is easier to read.
