Implementing Lunar Calendar

[udendra]

HI,

Any body out there know how to get the Lunar Calendar using PHP?

I need it to find the "full moon day (poya day)" of a month.

😃 No I'm not a WareWolf!!!!

This is a bit of a roundabout way of doing it but it should work. How long is a lunar month? let's say 20 days. You have the date for a full moon let's say 23/08/2003 now you can do.

<?
if(round((mktime(0,0,0,8,23,2003)/(24*60*60))-(time()/(24*60*60)))%20==0)
{
  echo("tonight will be a full moon");
}
else
{
  echo("tonight will not be a full moon");
}
?>

Thankx for the suggestion,
but My problem is finding out the exact time interval between 2 full moon days. (say - 29.5 days).

If I knew that time interval all what I need is to find the 12 (sometimes 13) full moon days(dates) of a year.

Do I need astronomy to deal with this??
