So why not write your site in that language?

It's going to be similar. Above, you've not mixed string and numeric; why 
would you do it below?

You've forgotten break and default, and how would you know which was 
chosen if both echo statements are identical?

	switch($nmonth) {
	case "01": $cmonth="January";  break;
	case "02": $cmonth="February";  break;
	case "03": $cmonth="March";  break;
	case "04": $cmonth="April";  break;
	case "05": $cmonth="May";  break;
	case "06": $cmonth="June";  break;
	case "07": $cmonth="July";  break;
	case "08": $cmonth="August";  break;
	case "09": $cmonth="September";  break;
	case "10": $cmonth="October";  break;
	case "11": $cmonth="November";  break;
	case "12": $cmonth="December";  break;
	default: $cmonth="Not a valid month number"; break;
	}
	echo $cmonth;
