function getmonth($m=0) {
return (($m==0 ) ? date(”F”) : date(”F”, mktime(0,0,0,$m)));
}

Examples (the first one; if posted today):
echo getmonth();
// January

echo getmonth(12);
// December

echo getmonth(14);
// February
(since the passed argument is above 12 it starts with January on 13, February on 14, etc etc)
