Chinese New Year Calculation

[neophyte]

I don't think there is one - I've already browsed the php manual - but am wondering if anyone knows of a function to determine the start and end dates of Chinese New Year (simular to php's function for determining easter sunday).

Chinese new year is based upon a lunar cycle so their not fixed dates.

If PHP doesn't already have a built in function, does anyone know how to calculate these dates?

You're right, PHP doesn't have a function for that. There should be dozens of scripts out there that will do it though, Google 'php script chinese new year' or similar.
