Would you consider using a different date function? Say straight from time() and not jump hoops as it looks like you are? — Brian Gerhards, Jul 14 '15 at 06:13

string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] )

Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given integer timestamp or the current time if no timestamp is given. In other words, timestamp is optional and defaults to the value of time().

Read php.net manual

Try

<?php echo date('F', time());?>

In your question you are using $month=date("M",strtotime($arr2));.

Use time($arr2) instead of strtotime($arr2)
