Okay, when I try to change the gregorian date to julian, I get
error: call to undefined function: gregoriantojd() in line...
Advertising
Here's the code I used to replace $datetoget=($datetoget-1);
//from what I understand ,must be in month, day, year format
//so passed today's date
$greg_date=GregorianToJD(1,2,2002);
//subtracted a day
$greg_date=($greg_date-1);
//converted it back to gregorian format
$datetoget=JDToGregorian($greg_date);
