Re: Date problem with new year

Okay, when I try to change the gregorian date to julian, I get error: call to undefined function: gregoriantojd() in line... Here's the code I used to replace $datetoget=($datetoget-1); //from what I understand ,must be in month, day, year format //so passed today's date $greg_date=GregorianToJD(1,2,2002); //subtracted a day $greg_date=($greg_date-1); //converted it back to gregorian format $datetoget=JDToGregorian($greg_date); -- Faye Keesic Computer Programmer Analyst/Web Page Design > From: ted@php.net > Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 07:55:02 -0800 (PST) > To: Faye Keesic <fkeesic@fortfrances.com> > Cc: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Date problem with new year > > Ah... the "$datetoget = ($datetoget-1)" is the problem. > > Convert the Gregorian Ymd date to Julian, subtract 1, then convert the > Julian date back to Gregorian (or Hebrew ;->).
