Regarding the jewish date system. It may be worth noting the following peculiarities, some obvious some not so.
1. Jewish days start at sunset NOT midnight so when converting from a Gregorian date to a Jewish one it might be worth asking if the date/time occurred 'after sunset'.
2. Jewish leap years follow a 19 year cycle which can be calculated like this:
function isJLeapYear($JYear) {
if ( ((7 * $JYear + 1) % 19) < 7 )
return true;
else
return false;
}
3. During a leap year a new leap-month called "Adar I" is inserted BEFORE the normal month of Adar.
4. During leap years, Adar is renamed "Adar II".
5. Adar/Adar II has 29 days
6. Adar I has 30 days
7. Cheshvan & Kislev have between 29 & 30 Days
8. Leap years have between 383 and 385 days.
8. non-leap years have between 353 and 355 days.
9 . In a 354-day year, months have alternating 30 and 29 day lengths.
10. In a 353-day year, the month of Kislev is reduced to 29 days.
11. In a 355-day year, the month of Cheshvan is increased to 30 days.
12. Leap years years follow the same pattern, with the addition of the 30-day Adar I as well.

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.
