Thank you Richard for
Or the "L" parameter:
L Whether it's a leap year -- 1 if it is a leap year, 0 otherwise.
on the date() function:
This is helpful to know in the future. Meanwhile,
I modified the original code in reply to the following to work in my situation
1: I couldn't seem to get a decisive response from code as posted in reply
were 2018 is from getDate return array
print is_leap_year(2018) // ... nothing, no false, -1, 0 or anything. also no complaints
2: I have had problems with using % alone in php, and reading the manual
it didn't actually do what it does in javascript: 2.5%1 = .5, so I used fmod
I wrote a bunch if code in javascript and did an almost verbatim translation
to php. But every where I used % in the javascript code, I had to use fmod
in php to get the same result.
3: If the $year value comes in as a string so I didn't want to trust that it would
be coerced to number type.
4: The return doesn't have to be a string, it is a left over from processing
string representation of boolean value, as would be sent in a $_GET var.
function getLeap($year)
{
settype($year, 'int');
if( ( fmod($year, 4) == 0 ) && ( ( fmod($year, 100) != 0 ) || (fmod($year, 400) == 0) ) )
{
return 'true';
}
else
{
return 'false';
}
}
I hope this considered something of value to list in general. It is not intended as a criticism
of the code offered. I was probably missing some key understanding.
