从PHP当月获取月份名称 - 到年底

Question

I have fetched a current month from my DB which is basically a join date of the user. Lets say the use joined this month and it is May. The code I do to fetch the month name is like this:

$months = array();
array_push($months,date("F",strtotime($me['joinTime'])));

In this case I add the start month to the array, which in this case is May... Now what I'd like to do is as the months go by, I'd like to add each new month to the array.. So for instance in a few days its June, and when June kicks in, I'll add that Month as well to the array.. So my question here is, how can I get the rest of the month names from the start date (May).

I need June, July, August, September, October, November, December...

If the start month was April I'd add May into the array as well...

Can someone help me out with this ?

First you need to get he month number and than you need to use a loop through to end of the year that is 12. For each month number you also need the month name so use DateTime createFromFormat.

$months = array();
$num = date("n",strtotime($me['joinTime']));
array_push($months, date("F", strtotime('2016-05-17 16:41:51')));

for($i = ($num + 1); $i <= 12; $i++){
    $dateObj = DateTime::createFromFormat('!m', $i);
    array_push($months, $dateObj->format('F'));
}

print_r($months); // Array ( [0] => May [1] => June [2] => July [3] => August [4] => September [5] => October [6] => November [7] => December )
