Use this function if you prefer to use the standard calendar constants:





<?php


function jdmonthname2($julianday, $calendar, $abbrev = false) {


  if($calendar == CAL_GREGORIAN && $abbrev) $mode = 0;


  elseif($calendar == CAL_GREGORIAN && !$abbrev) $mode = 1;


  elseif($calendar == CAL_JULIAN && $abbrev) $mode = 2;


  elseif($calendar == CAL_JULIAN && !$abbrev) $mode = 3;


  elseif($calendar == CAL_JEWISH) $mode = 4;


  elseif($calendar == CAL_FRENCH) $mode = 5;


  else $mode = 10; //use an invalid mode and let the underlying function handle it





  return jdmonthname($julianday, $mode);


}


?>

You can get the month name by passing the month integer value to a simple function....





<?php


function getMonthName($Month){


    $strTime=mktime(1,1,1,$Month,1,date("Y"));


    return date("F",$strTime);


}


echo getMonthName(10);


?>





Output:


October

YIQV, this should correct your issue with Adar being displayed as AdarI:



<?php



// assuming that $jewish_month is the Jewish month,

// and $jewish_year is the Jewish year,

// you can use this script to replace 'Adar I' with 'Adar' when it is not a leap year.

// this is because a Jewish leap year occurs every 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th year.



if(    $jewish_month == "AdarI" &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 0 &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 3 &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 6 &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 8 &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 11 &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 14 &&

    $jewish_year%19 != 17

) {



    $jewish_month = "Adar";



}



?>

I am finding an inconsistency in the Jewish month Adar. The function always returns AdarI regardless of whether the year is a jewish leapyear. The month is known as Adar (not AdarI) in non-leap years. Also when using function jdtojewish with bool hebrew set to true it always returns (ADR) and not (ADR A) when it's a leap year. AdarII in Hebrew and English seems to work properly.
