how to extract month from given date by using string functions?..

Answer / guest

print strftime('%B',time());

This will return the name of the current month.
And date('M') also will return current month.

If you want to get month from the date then use the
following way.

$date=date('d/M/Y')
$date=substr($date,strpos($date,'/')+1);
$date=substr($date,0,strpos($date,'/'));

Finally $date will contain the month name.

Answer / subodh

Assume date is like $datestr = '01-12-2013';
then it can be below two ways:
1. echo date('M', strtotime($datestr)); // for textual
// Or date('m', strtotime($datestr)); // for numeric
2. $list($d, $m, $y) = explode('-', $datestr);
echo $m; // for numeric
