Getting the month by Number

[silstorm]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to create an archive system, and want to be able to display
articles according to the month. The system I have setup at the moment appears
to work, apart from one part. At the top of the index for that month, I was to
have the text 'Articles added in (month), (year).

Now the year isn't a problem because I'm obviously passing that as the
displayed value anyway. However, I'm passing the month as a number - ie 7 for
July. The URL works like this = [url]www.myserver.com/archive.cfm/month/7/year/2005[/url]
(I'm using a search engine safe url system).

So, I need a way of converting the month number to the month name. I've tried
a few different methods, but they all seem to bring back January for some
reason, so I'm guessing I'm not doing it correctly.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Maybe something like :

<cfset YourDate = CreateDate(#Year#, #month#, 1)>

and after
Articles added in #DateFormat(YourDate,"mmmm")#, (#year#)
