Do you really need this?  I.e. is this a linear / quadratic / etc.
fucntion... one where you can start with one known value (Jan. 1 1970)
and build all dates relative to this date instead?

If you just want days since 0 BC / AD you can recreate all of the PHP
date functions yourself... but use a "daystamp" from 0 BC/AD instead of
a "timestamp" from 1970.  Or fudge things a little and use 365.25 days
per year...
