The algorithms are not a real problem, regardless to the calendar type, they are relatively well known. The question is more what we will see in the date/time functions. By the way, I did not say calendar is not a good extension. It is easier to start from scratch instead of trying to add/fix/modify it. I especially think about the localization, texts as well as TZ. Another good point to create something new beside calendar, that will keep BC safe. hth pierre -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
