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 "Jason Barnett" <jason.barnett@telesuite.com> wrote in message news:20050306204451.52181.qmail@lists.php.net...
