This function should do the job:

    function month_to_int($mon) {
      $months = array('Jan'=>1,'Feb'=>2,'Mar'=>3,
                      'Apr'=>4,'May'=>5,'Jun'=>6,
                      'Jul'=>7,'Aug'=>8,'Sep'=>9,
                      'Oct'=>10,'Nov'=>11,'Dec'=>12);
      return($months[$mon]);
    }

i.e. I pass "Dec" and it returns 12
