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

"Result is that $months would result in an array where 07 = July 08 = August, 09 = September."

for ($key = 1; $key <=12; $key++) {
    $months[str_pad($key, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT)] = date('F', strtotime('2000-' . $key));
}

If you're okay with 7 = July 8 = August, 9 = September, then:

for ($key = 1; $key <=12; $key++) {
    $months[$key] = date('F', strtotime('2000-' . $key));
}
