   Fantastic... This was a nice quick solution to my problem. I was after the month names from November to Aprils so I tweaked this as follows:
   
   for($i=1;$i

   Fantastic... This was a nice quick solution to my problem. I was after the month names from November to Aprils so I tweaked this as follows:
   
   for($i=1;$i<=6;$i++) {
   echo date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, (($i+10) % 12), 10));
   }

How was your Meal?
