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

Sometime you need to be careful on your locale, so this is my solution (in a function):

$months = [];

for ($x=1; $x < 13; $x++) {

    $time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $x, 1);
    $key = date('m', $time);
    $name =  ucfirst(strftime('%B', $time));
    $months[(int)$key] = $name;
}

return $months;
