What does your  data variable  look like  If it s like this    mydate    2010-05-12 13 57 01     You can simply do    month   date  m  strtotime  mydate      For more information  take a look at date and strtotime   EDIT   To compare with an int  just do a date format  date  n    which will give you the month without leading zero   Alternatively  try one of these   if  int  month    1     if abs  month     1       Or something weird using ltrim  round  floor    but date format   with  n  would be the best

As it s not specified if you mean the system s current date or the date held in a variable  I ll answer for latter with an example    lt  php  dateAsString    Wed  11 Apr 2018 19 00 00 -0500       This converts it to a unix timestamp so that the date   function can work with it   dateAsUnixTimestamp   strtotime  dateAsString       Output it month is various formats according to http   php net date  echo date  M   dateAsUnixTimestamp      Will output Apr  echo date  n   dateAsUnixTimestamp      Will output 4  echo date  m   dateAsUnixTimestamp      Will output 04   gt
