I created this function a while ago and needed it again recently, so had to trawl through some old files to find it. Thought I'd post it here in case anyone else finds it useful.

Hello ,

there is a mistake with function name 
 
at class HijriCalendar {
.
.
.
.
.
.
function HijriToGregorian($m, $d, $y)
    {
        ////  jd_to_cal -> It Should Be -> cal_to_jd
        return jd_to_cal(CAL_GREGORIAN, HijriCalendar::HijriToJD($m, $d, $y));
    }
}

Had a similar problem as curlee, except I needed to create a JDE_ERP date.  [format is CYYDDD]

<?php

function jde_date_create($month, $day, $year){
    /*
    *  NOTE: $month and $day CANNOT have leading zeroes, 
    *        $year must be'YYYY' format
    */
    $jde_year_prefix = substr($year, 0, 1) - 1;
    $jde_year_suffix = substr($year, -2);
    
    //note that valid years for mktime are 1902-2037
    $timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$month, $day, $year);
    $baseline_timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,1,0,$year);
    
    $day_count = round(($timestamp - $baseline_timestamp)/86400);
    $day_count_padded = str_pad($day_count,3,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);

    return ($jde_year_prefix . $jde_year_suffix . $day_count_padded);
    
}

echo jde_date_create(6,25,2000);// will return '103176'

?>

This is the egyptian calendar which was the first 365 day calendar on the planet it has no leap year which makes it a little inaccurate but you can work on your own implementation of this code when you like, this is another implementation of the roun floating point code which is a universal code for generating date codec's you can make practically all calendars with this code the $pweight is based on my research on carbon date stamping etc of when egypt epoch or PPO was made, some people argue a few thousand years while other can date egypts epoch being around 30000 years ago!! This is on the basis of tidal marking on statues and momuments when the are was covered in water after construction from sea level rising.

btw in my previous post of the Mayan Tikal calendar the top part of the function was chopped off in my code cut and paste that is the line for the function which looks like, the top 3 line will need to be replace with:

This section of code need to be changed in the calculation I noticed today in our RounCalendar we had a zero day this function will calculate the month and day correctly for the calendars, it is a pretty universe piece of code, I am sorry it wasn't properly tested and need some refactoring.

This will return the mayan long count calendar which cycle reaches 13.0.0.0.0 in 2012, I have had to compress the changemaya function for this code library so if you want to space it out your more than welcome. It works with unix time. To call the routine use the following syntax. The mayan calendar is a day count that is around 5000 years old, it tracks our cestial position in the galaxy

Thanks!!

I solved a problem with Julian dates that are used in the JD Edwards ERP package (running on AS/400).  The Julian format for this system is as follows:  CYYDDD 

Where C is 0 for 1900 and 1 for 2000
DDD is the day of the year count

I used the mktime built-in php function to convert dates to the normal DD/MM/YYYY format.  This function will convert dates that are between 1970 and 2038 (limitation of unix timestamps and the mktime function)

The $jde_date var needs to be a 6 len STRING.... if you use a numeric var type it will drop the leading 0 for any date that represents 1900.... this will botch the substr functions and thus make the whole thing wrong.  

<?php
function jde_date_conv($jde_date)
{

$ct = substr($jde_date,0,1);
$yr = substr($jde_date,1,2);
$dy = substr($jde_date,3,3);

if($ct == 0) $yr_pfx = 19;
if($ct == 1) $yr_pfx = 20;

$tlt_yr = $yr_pfx.$yr;

$base_time = mktime(0,0,0,1,0,$tlt_yr);

$unix_time = ($dy * 86400) + $base_time;

return date("m/d/Y" , $unix_time);
}
?>
