* Class Name: Arabic Date
* Original Author(s): Khaled Al-Sham'aa <khaled@ar-php.org>
* Purpose: Arabic customization for PHP date function
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------
* PHP class for Arabic and Islamic customization of PHP date function. It
* can convert UNIX timestamp into string in Arabic as well as convert it into
* The Islamic calendar is purely lunar and consists of twelve alternating months
* of 30 and 29 days, with the final 29 day month extended to 30 days during leap
* years. Leap years follow a 30 year cycle and occur in years 1, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16,
* 18, 21, 24, 26, and 29. The calendar begins on Friday, July 16th, 622 C.E. in
* the Julian calendar, Julian day 1948439.5, the day of Muhammad's separate from
* Mecca to Medina, the first day of the first month of year 1 A.H.--"Anno Hegira".
* Each cycle of 30 years thus contains 19 normal years of 354 days and 11 leap
* years of 355, so the average length of a year is therefore
* ((19 x 354) + (11 x 355)) / 30 = 354.365... days, with a mean length of month of
* 1/12 this figure, or 29.53055... days, which closely approximates the mean
* synodic month (time from new Moon to next new Moon) of 29.530588 days, with the
* calendar only slipping one day with respect to the Moon every 2525 years. Since
* the calendar is fixed to the Moon, not the solar year, the months shift with
* respect to the seasons, with each month beginning about 11 days earlier in each
* The convert presented here is the most commonly used civil calendar in the
* Islamic world; for religious purposes months are defined to start with the
* first observation of the crescent of the new Moon.
* The Julian calendar was proclaimed by Julius Casar in 46 B.C. and underwent
* several modifications before reaching its final form in 8 C.E. The Julian
* calendar differs from the Gregorian only in the determination of leap years,
* lacking the correction for years divisible by 100 and 400 in the Gregorian
* calendar. In the Julian calendar, any positive year is a leap year if divisible
* by 4. (Negative years are leap years if when divided by 4 a remainder of 3
* results.) Days are considered to begin at midnight.
* In the Julian calendar the average year has a length of 365.25 days. compared to
* the actual solar tropical year of 365.24219878 days. The calendar thus
* accumulates one day of error with respect to the solar year every 128 years.
* Being a purely solar calendar, no attempt is made to synchronise the start of
* months to the phases of the Moon.
* The Gregorian Calendar:
* The Gregorian calendar was proclaimed by Pope Gregory XIII and took effect in
* most Catholic states in 1582, in which October 4, 1582 of the Julian calendar
* was followed by October 15 in the new calendar, correcting for the accumulated
* discrepancy between the Julian calendar and the equinox as of that date. When
* comparing historical dates, it's important to note that the Gregorian calendar,
* used universally today in Western countries and in international commerce, was
* adopted at different times by different countries. Britain and her colonies
* (including what is now the United States), did not switch to the Gregorian
* calendar until 1752, when Wednesday 2nd September in the Julian calendar dawned
* as Thursday the 14th in the Gregorian.
* The Gregorian calendar is a minor correction to the Julian. In the Julian
* calendar every fourth year is a leap year in which February has 29, not 28 days,
* but in the Gregorian, years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are
* also divisible by 400. How prescient was Pope Gregory! Whatever the problems of
* Y2K, they won't include sloppy programming which assumes every year divisible by
* 4 is a leap year since 2000, unlike the previous and subsequent years divisible
* by 100, is a leap year. As in the Julian calendar, days are considered to begin
* The average length of a year in the Gregorian calendar is 365.2425 days compared
* to the actual solar tropical year (time from equinox to equinox) of 365.24219878
* days, so the calendar accumulates one day of error with respect to the solar year
* about every 3300 years. As a purely solar calendar, no attempt is made to
* synchronise the start of months to the phases of the Moon.
* date -- Format a local time/date
* string date ( string format, int timestamp);
* Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given
* integer timestamp or the current local time if no timestamp is given. In
* otherwords, timestamp is optional and defaults to the value of time().
* date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
* echo date('l dS F Y h:i:s A', $time);
* include('./I18N/Arabic.php');
* $obj = new I18N_Arabic('Date');
* echo $obj->date('l dS F Y h:i:s A', $time);
* echo $obj->date('l dS F Y h:i:s A', $time);
* echo $obj->date('l dS F Y h:i:s A', $time);
