Converting Month into Integer

okay so i run an openssl command to get the date of an expired script. Doing so gives me this:

Code:
enddate=Jun 26 23:59:59 2012 GMT

Then i cut everything out and just leave the month which is "Jun"
Now the next part of my script is to tell the user if the the certificate is expired or not and to do that i use an if statement in which it looks like this:

Code:
if [ $exp_year -lt $cur_year && $exp_month -lt $cur_month ]; then
          echo "" 
              echo "Certificate is still valid until $exp_date"
               echo "" 
else
              echo ""
              echo "Certificate has expired on $exp_date, please renew."
               echo ""
fi

I can't figure out how to convert the month into an integer to even do the comparison. I thought of doing the brute force way which is this:

Code:
Jan=01
Feb=02
Mar=03
...

Clearly that's a terrible way to do it. Does anyone know what i can do?

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. Please notice this option isn't related to the terminal length as in a "80 culums terminal". --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do right to left (RTL) layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter and A4. Default is A4. Postscript points Each postscript point equals to 1/72 of an inch. 36 points are 1/2 of an inch. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --gutter-width=gw Set gutter width. Default is 40 postscript points. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
