I looked up the Carbon method createFromFormat, which appears to just be a wrapper for DateTime::createFromFormat. I read about a bug that is caused by not supplying a year/day to cFF. I updated the code, same result.

	$dates = [];
	$month = '';

	for ($i=1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
		$month = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-n-d', date('Y')."-$i-".date('d'))->format('F');
		$dates[$i] = $month;
	}

	return dd($dates);

<?php dd( DateTime::createFromFormat('m', '11')->format('F') ); // Output: string(8) "December" ?>

Even the simplest of setup causes this function to fail on "m" or "n"...

Solution

	$dates = [];
	for ($i=1; $i <= 12; $i++) {
		$dates[] = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-n-d', "$year-$i-01")->format('F');
	}
	return dd($dates);

Seems to work, I knew that there was a bug with the days rolling over but I overlooked that in the last post. I suggest looking through your code if anyone else uses a month conversion without a day.
