Hi,
If you're unable/unwilling to modify your PHP installation, or just playing favorites
with MySQL functions over PHP functions, an alternative to using the gregoriantojd()
function is to use mysql's date functions to format the date as a julian date. (Check
the mysql manual for detailed syntax - it's a nice suite of formatting options).
Cheers,
db
