http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php says to use "mon" as the
array index rather than "month"

[PHP-DB] Getting a date in number form

[Rick Dahl]

I need to get the month in a number format; July =7.  Right now it is returning the 
string: July.

This is what I am doing.

$today = getdate(); 
$month = $today['month']; 
$mday = $today['mday']; 
$year = $today['year']; 

What can I do to get the number instead of the word?
