Yes.
Oh, you want to know what it is?
I expect there's actually several ways, although I'm thinking it's likely that none of them is blindingly obvious. Personally, I think I'd be inclined to do it like this:
$mth = 9;
echo date('F', mktime(12,0,0, $mth));
I'm sure you'll get other equally valid suggestions!
Cheers!
