Ahh, date math... I spent 2 weeks trying to solve this once. I'm not
exactly sure what you are trying to calculate here. If you want the
number of days since the year 1601, no problem. I'm not sure where you
get your 1461 from, tho...
here's an algorthm I did in perl, which is fairly similar:
my %day_counts = (1 => 0,
2 => 31,
3 => 59,
4 => 90,
5 => 120,
6 => 151,
7 => 181,
8 => 212,
9 => 243,
10 => 273,
11 => 304,
12 => 334);
$day_count = (($year-1601)*365)+(int(($year-1601)/4));
$day_count += $day_counts{$perp_month};
$day_count += $day;
# leap year
if (int(($year-1600)/4) eq 0) {
if ($month > 2) {
$day_count++;
}
}
# adjust for leap year values that aren't a leap year
foreach my $key (1700,1800,1900,2100,2200,2300,2500,2600,2700) {
if ((($year == $key) && ($month > 2)) || ($year > $key)) {
$day_count--;
}
}
If anyone cares to translate into php, might be nice to have, but
doesn't php have a pretty good set of calendaring functions already?
haven't used 'em yet, but i looked at 'em a little...
