Get month after and before given month name

Question

How do I get the month name after a given month. So for June, I would want July

I have tried:

$next_month = date('F',strtotime('June', "next month"));

This display January, which is obviously wrong, I am looking for July.

How would I then get the month before?

I have tried

$prev_month = date('F',strtotime('June - 1 month'));

$next_month = date('F',strtotime('June + 1 month'));

or

$next_month = date('F',strtotime('June next month'));

$next_month = date('F',strtotime('June last month'));

`echo date('F',strtotime('June ' . date('Y') . ' -1 month'));` - You need to include the year for previous month. [reference](http://stackoverflow.com/q/5489502/138383) – Aaron W. Dec 18 '12 at 15:30
