I want to be able to figure out the month of the current date variable. I'm ex vb.net and the way to do it there is just date.Month. How do I do this in PHP?

Thanks,

Jonesy

I used date_format($date, "m"); //01, 02..12

This is what I wanted, question now is how do I compare this to an int since $monthnumber = 01 just becomes 1

To compare with an int do this: 

<?php
$date = date("m");
$dateToCompareTo = 05;
if (strval($date) == strval($dateToCompareTo)) {
    echo "They are the same";
}
?>
