Re: Help with dates

well, you can simply use the unix timestamp, since the amount of days / 
seconds since 0 AD/BC will be a constant (it won't change, trust me), 
you can simply add it to that, and add a wrapper function to php's 
time(). You'll be working with VERY big numbers in that case, so you can 
also do it the other way around; store the amount of DAYS since 0 AD/BC 
till Jan 1st 1970, add time()/86400, and you'll have the amount of days 
since 0 AD/BC in an integer (or float, depending on how many days that 
really are).

You'll just need to find that constant somewhere :)

Hey mr. Barnett,

Unfortunately, I do need an accurate calculation, because the calculation
will run 2 ways. From and to our calendar.

I have no problem creating my own datefunctions if I have some idea on how
PHP handles the current ones as a template. Then I can figure out the rest
for myself.

Would you know where I might find more info regarding this in stead?

Yours,

Kevin
Well
