@AnastasieLaurent did you even bother to research this before posting the question? The manual has a **very** clear list of parameters for date... – scrowler Sep 03 '14 at 21:09

If you don't have time to do basic research to solve your problem, you shouldn't ask others to do it for free. Why not pay some programmers if you don't have time to program yourself? Reading manuals is part of programming. – Sep 03 '14 at 21:22

You can do it directly with the date function, using the 'M' mode.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
Alternatively, check out the function JDMonthName -- using mode 2 you can get the abbreviated month name.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.jdmonthname.php
Alternatively, check out the strftime function (much like printf) for formatting your date. The %b format gives the abbreviated month name.
