Коментарии
Julian days begin at noon, while the days of the Gregorian and Julian calendars are usually thought of as beginning at midnight. For the Gregorian and Julian calendars, the function behaves as if the conversion were performed at noon.
The earliest supported date in the Julian calendar is January 2, 4713 BC. The corresponding Julian day count is 1. PHP treats -4713 as equal to 4713 BC, and does not allow the year 0; this practice is different than the custom of astronomers, who treat -4712 as equal to 4713 BC.
