Previous month name

Ok, you got me thinking on this and its not that easy to achieve in one line really because if month is January then current month less one is 0 not 12.

ucantblamem's solution is a good quick fix but the issue is obvious that not all months have 30 days...

Heres the best solution I could come up with - any suggestions welcome (such as something cleaner then mktime?).

Code:

if( ($monthPrevious = 1-1) == 0) {
    $monthPrevious = 12;
}

$monthPreviousName =  date('F',mktime(0,0,0,$monthPrevious,1,2000));

A previous date function in the date helper could come handy looking at this
