I cannot see the support here, hence, I presume it is not available: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.calendar.php There are external libraries, but, a native support would be good: https://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/43092.html We should be able to convert between; Greg, Hijri, Julian, UnixTime calendars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75456&edit=1
