JDateTime - Iranian (Shamsi) Date for PHP

You know you can do this:<p><pre><code> $idf = new IntlDateFormatter('fa_IR@calendar=persian', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL,"Asia/Tehran", IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL); </code></pre> right?<p>PHP has a wrapper for ICU.

Thank god they finally introduced all this classes and inheritance kerfuffle in PHP, so we can now manually handle Iranian dates by calling "toJalali" on a pseudo-singleton "jDateTime" class.<p>In all seriousness, I wanted to punch myself in the face when I had to instantiate a "GregorianCalendar" in Java, but the general idea has a lot of merit, even if the implementation is terrible.

not to be confused with JDate.com..

don't know much about how Iranian dates work so I peeked inside the code to see the actual conversion.<p>Line 482 - $g_days_in_month = array(31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);<p>Umm, what about leap years, you know the ones that have 29 days in February?

upvote, you rock Sallar :)
