JDateTime - Iranian (Shamsi) Date for PHP (github.com)

Thank god they finally introduced all this classes and inheritance kerfuffle in PHP, so we can now manually handle Iranian dates by calling "toJalali" on a pseudo-singleton "jDateTime" class.

In all seriousness, I wanted to punch myself in the face when I had to instantiate a "GregorianCalendar" in Java, but the general idea has a lot of merit, even if the implementation is terrible.

not to be confused with JDate.com..

You know you can do this:

    $idf = new IntlDateFormatter('fa_IR@calendar=persian',
        IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
        IntlDateFormatter::FULL,"Asia/Tehran",
        IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL);

right?

PHP has a wrapper for ICU.

upvote, you rock Sallar :)

don't know much about how Iranian dates work so I peeked inside the code to see the actual conversion.

Line 482 - $g_days_in_month = array(31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);

Umm, what about leap years, you know the ones that have 29 days in February?
