Custom PhP Date Script Help

[42yen]

I am looking for assistance in creating a php date script that will display the following:

Today is April 06, A.S. XLIV (44)

I have created a simple date script that uses server time, made adjustments for time zone, etc, but two things are really beyond my php skills.

1) The "calendar" system starts May 1, 1966. So 1966 equal year I (1), 1967 is II (2) and now 2010 is XLIV (44) etc...

2) The year is displayed in roman numerals.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry perhaps I am typing faster than I am thinking. You are correct. I want a date system that is out of sync with the current one as based on this calendar here:

[sca.org...]

Basically the date system started May 01, A.S. I (1) and today is April 06, A.S. XLIV (44) . May 01 of this year would then be May 01, A.S. XLV (45).

Hi there 42yen,

Just thought I should mention the forum charter (Link on left toolbar next to the list of mods) The link(s) as you have posted *may* be removed as they are personal. Not telling you off, just advising you, I have fallen fowl of this in the past myself :)

Pleased to see that you are making progress though, I don't mean to sound condescending at all, good luck with all the projects that you work on in the future :)


Cheers,
MRb
