How to convert 02 to FEB

How to convert 02 to FEB, where is this process come from native function of php. like date('Y') then we will get this year.

$m = strftime("%b",mktime(0,0,0,$month));

<? php
$var = 02;
$var = convertToMonthName($var);

function convertToMonthName($n)
      {
      $timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $n, 1, 2011);
      return date("M", $timestamp);
      }
?>

Its a bit of a hack, but it works. It creates a time stamp for the first of that month in an arbitrary year. Then it pulls the month from it using the php date function

You could have an array of months like this:

<?php
$months = array(
    1 => 'Jan',
    2 => 'Feb'
);

echo $months[02];
