 veneral, but someone may know what I mean.  I think this is a crazy to 
 calculate it - but it uses some other calendar I believe.

[PHP-DB] DATE

2007-04-06 Thread Ron Piggott 
Would someone help me with this ---

How do I get the results for 2 days before Easter Sunday from this ---
what do I have to do to my date statement to figure out Good Friday?

$good_Friday = date(Y-m-d, easter_date($current_year));
