Use this function if you prefer to use the standard calendar constants:
<?php
function jdmonthname2($julianday, $calendar, $abbrev = false) {
if($calendar == CAL_GREGORIAN && $abbrev) $mode = 0;
elseif($calendar == CAL_GREGORIAN && !$abbrev) $mode = 1;
elseif($calendar == CAL_JULIAN && $abbrev) $mode = 2;
elseif($calendar == CAL_JULIAN && !$abbrev) $mode = 3;
elseif($calendar == CAL_JEWISH) $mode = 4;
elseif($calendar == CAL_FRENCH) $mode = 5;
else $mode = 10; //use an invalid mode and let the underlying function handle it
return jdmonthname($julianday, $mode);
}
?>

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.
