PHP jdtounix() Function

Example

Convert a Gregorian date to a Julian Day Count; then convert the Julian Day Count to Unix timestamp:

<?php
$jd=gregoriantojd(10,3,1975);
echo jdtounix($jd);
?>

Definition and Usage

The jdtounix() function converts Julian Day Count to Unix timestamp.

Note: This function will return false if the parameter jd is not inside the Unix epoch (which means that the Gregorian years must be between 1970 and 2037 OR that jd >= 2440588 and jd <= 2465342). The time returned is local time.

Tip: Look at the unixtojd() function to convert Unix timestamp to Julian Day Count.

jdtounix(jd);
