PHP Calendar Introduction

The calendar functions are useful when working with different calendar formats. The standard it is based on is the Julian day count (Julian day count is a count of days starting from January 1, 4713 B.C.). Note that the Julian day count is not the same as the Julian calendar!

Note: To exchange between calendar formats, you must first convert to Julian day count, then to the calendar format.

Installation

The windows version of PHP has built-in support for the calendar extension. So, the calendar functions will work automatically.

However, if you are organization the Linux version of PHP, you will have to compile PHP with --enable-calendar to get the calendar functions to work.
