gregoriantojd

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

gregoriantojdConverts a Gregorian date to Julian Day Count

Description

gregoriantojd(int $month, int $day, int $year): int

The valid range for the Gregorian calendar is from November 25, 4714 B.C. to at least December 31, 9999 A.D.

Although this function can handle dates all the way back to 4714 B.C., such use may not be meaningful. The Gregorian calendar was not instituted until October 15, 1582 (or October 5, 1582 in the Julian calendar). Some countries did not accept it until much later. For example, Britain converted in 1752, The USSR in 1918 and Greece in 1923. Most European countries used the Julian calendar prior to the Gregorian.

Parameters

month

The month as a number from 1 (for January) to 12 (for December)

day

The day as a number from 1 to 31. If the month has less days then given, overflow occurs; see the example below.

year

The year as a number between -4714 and 9999. Negative numbers mean years B.C., positive numbers mean years A.D. Note that there is no year 0; December 31, 1 B.C. is immediately followed by January 1, 1 A.D.

Return Values

The julian day for the given gregorian date as an integer. Dates outside the valid range return 0.

Examples

Example #1 Calendar functions

<?php
$jd 
gregoriantojd(10111970);
echo 
"$jd\n";
$gregorian jdtogregorian($jd);
echo 
"$gregorian\n";
?>

The above example will output:

2440871
10/11/1970

Example #2 Overflow behavior

<?php
echo gregoriantojd(2312018), PHP_EOL,
     
gregoriantojd(3,  32018), PHP_EOL;
?>

The above example will output:

2458181
2458181
