Here's a quick way to display the season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn) from a date. Dec,
Jan, Feb are Winter, etc.
<?php
$seasons = array("Winter","Spring","Summer","Autumn");
echo $seasons[(int)((date("n") %12)/3)];
?>
date("n") produces a numeric month 1..12
date("n") %12 (modulus 12) converts month 12 (Dec) to 0
Then we divide by 3 and convert to an integer to produce four groups, 0,1,2,3.
Then we display the nth array element.
