Some of you may say that it not useful to write driver-classes in PHP when we can use iCal. But as far as I can see, iCal's RRULE property does not support calculation of dates like Easter. The advantage of iCal is that someone can use applications like Mozilla Calendar to enter some events and write them to an iCal file. There's no need to code anything.
If I recall correctly, the question was not about the power of iCal vs PHP. Its that there's a huge base of calendars already defined in iCal which must then be redefined in PHP for Date_Holidays. On a first look over iCal, I got the opposite impression. However, if you analyzed the question with some depth, and believe its too much of a hurdle to support iCal, I think it's ok. I've personally used iCal for extremely simple calendar import tasks, so I can't possibly defend the opposite argument. Go ahead with the proposal. Cheers,
Let me hear what you think about that, please. Regards, Carsten
