Oof! Ok ... let's get started.
  1. Turn on strict and warnings. I know you're not using either.
  2. When you do that, you'll notice a warning about using a single-element array-slice. What that means is that you're saying @monArray[$i] when you should be saying $monArray[$i].
  3. Your SWITCH thing can be more easily written as: 
    $monArray[$i] = sprintf("%02d", $monArray[$i] + 1);

  4. Your SQL statement is appalling. And I mean APPALLING. In so many ways.
    • You don't use placeholders. That means your statements are open to SQL injection attacks.
    • I'm assuming that the anniversary column is a DATE of some sort. So, why don't you do something like (Oracle): 
      SELECT foo, bar, baz
  FROM empfile
 WHERE anniversary BETWEEN TO_DATE( ?, 'MM/DD' ) AND TO_DATE( ?, 'MM/D
+D' )

      That way, you only specify your beginning and your end. Plus, you can give the RDBMS a hint that you want from this date to this date + N days. Doing a little learning will give you tons of benefits.
  5. What's the SQL error you're seeing? Could it be something as simple as "Database not available"? Maybe it has nothing to do with the statement itself ...

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
