PHP 5 Calendar function

PHP 5Calendar function About PHP Calendar

The calendar extension contains functions that simplify conversions between different calendar formats.

It is based on Julian Day count (Julian days count), which was calculated starting from January 1, 4713 BC.

Note: to convert between calendar formats, you must first convert to Julian day Count and then convert to the calendar format you want.

notes: Julian Day Count (Julian's count) is not the same thing as Julian calendar.

Installation

In order for these functions to work, you must compile PHP through--enable-calendar.

The Windows version of PHP has built-in support for calendar extensions. Therefore, the Calendar function automatically works.
