easter_date

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

easter_date得到指定年份的复活节午夜时的Unix时间戳。

说明

easter_date ( int $year = ? ) : int

返回指定年份的复活节午夜时的Unix时间戳。

Warning

如果给定的年份超出Unix时间戳的范围(比如1970年以前或2037年以后),该函数将返回一个警告。

复活节的日期是由尼西亚议会在AD325年确定的为每年春分月圆后的第一个星期日。春分一般是在3月21日,这就简化为只要计算满月的日期和紧挨的星期日的日期。这里所用的算法是在532年由Dionysius Exiguus所介绍的,参考了Julian历法和Gregorian历法这两个历法来提高精确度。(在1753年以前用Julian历法计算,该历法是一个以19年为周期来确定月亮的相位的历法。在1753年以后用Gregorian历法计算,该历法由Clavius和Lilius发明,由Pope Gregory 8世在1582年推广)

参数

year

1970年至2037年之间的数字形式的年份。

返回值

复活节日期的Unix时间戳。

版本 说明
Since 4.3.0 year参数可选,缺省的默认值是当年。

Thank you, @Maxie, for algorythm for computing Orthodox Easter date.
It can be improved though. You added 13 days in order to map Julian calendar to Gregorian.  But 13 days is not a constant. It's an accumulated error fixed in Gregorian and should be calculated with this formula: (int)($year / 100) - (int)($year / 400) - 2

Hey, recently I needed a function to get realization dates in online shop, so here it is (ready to go for polish users, please adjust your dates for any other country):

<?php
function getWorkday($date1,$workDays) {
       
$workDays = (int)$workDays;
        if (
$workDays <= 0)
            return
null;

       
$date1=strtotime('-1 day',strtotime($date1));

       
$lastYear = null;
       
$hol=array('01-01','01-06','05-01','05-03','08-15','11-01','11-11','12-25','12-26');  //array of month-date of static holidays (these are from Poland)
       
$i = 0;
        while (
$i<=$workDays) {
           
$year = date('Y', $date1);
            if (
$year !== $lastYear){
               
$lastYear = $year;
               
$easter = date('m-d', easter_date($year));
               
$date = strtotime($year . '-' . $easter); // easter
               
$easterSec = date('m-d', strtotime('+1 day', $date)); // easter monday
               
$greens = date('m-d', strtotime('+49 days', $date)); // zielone swiatki
               
$cc = date('m-d', strtotime('+60 days', $date)); // boze cialo
               
$hol[] = $easter;
               
$hol[] = $easterSec;
               
$hol[] = $greens;
               
$hol[] = $cc;
            }
           
$weekDay=date('w',$date1);
            if (!(
$weekDay==0 || $weekDay==6 || in_array(date('m-d',$date1),$hol)))
               
$i++;

           
$date1=strtotime('+1 day',$date1);
        }
        return
date('Y-m-d',$date1);
    }

I found a problem with holidays timestamp computation and daylight saving time.
An article about it at http://goo.gl/76t31 (in french only, sorry).

In summary, this year (2013) easter begins before adding an hour for daylight saving time (occured sunday at 3:00). It means that if you do $easter + X, where x is a number of seconds equivalent to one day, 39 days or 50 days, the result is not equals to a midnight timestamp...

Here a function to check if a midnight timestamp is equals to an holiday :

function isHoliday( $ts ) {
// Licence : Creative Commons (BY)
// By Webpulser - http://goo.gl/76t31
  $fixed_holidays = array( '01-01′, '01-05′, '08-05′, '14-07′, '15-08′, '11-11′, '25-12′ );
  $format = 'd-m';

 $dm = date($format, $ts);
  if ( in_array($dm, $fixed_holidays) ) return true;

 $easter = easter_date( date('Y', $ts) );
  if ( date($format, $easter +   86400) == $dm ) return true;
  if ( date($format, $easter + 3369600) == $dm ) return true;
  if ( date($format, $easter + 4320000) == $dm ) return true;

 return false;
}

feel free to use / modify.

I recently had to write a function that allows me to know if today is a holiday.

And in France, we have some holidays which depends on the easter date. Maybe this will be helpful to someone.

Just modify in the $holidays array the actual holidays dates of your country.

<?php
/**
 * This function returns an array of timestamp corresponding to french holidays
 */
protected static function getHolidays($year = null)
{
  if (
$year === null)
  {
   
$year = intval(date('Y'));
  }
   
 
$easterDate  = easter_date($year);
 
$easterDay   = date('j', $easterDate);
 
$easterMonth = date('n', $easterDate);
 
$easterYear   = date('Y', $easterDate);

 
$holidays = array(
   
// These days have a fixed date
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 11$year),  // 1er janvier
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 51$year),  // Fête du travail
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 58$year),  // Victoire des alliés
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 714, $year),  // Fête nationale
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 815, $year),  // Assomption
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 11, 1$year),  // Toussaint
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 11, 11, $year),  // Armistice
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 25, $year),  // Noel

    // These days have a date depending on easter
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, $easterMonth, $easterDay + 2$easterYear),
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, $easterMonth, $easterDay + 40, $easterYear),
   
mktime(0, 0, 0, $easterMonth, $easterDay + 50, $easterYear),
  );

 
sort($holidays);
 
  return
$holidays;
}
?>

To compute the correct Easter date for Eastern Orthodox Churches I made a function based on the Meeus Julian algorithm:

<?php
function orthodox_eastern($year) {
   
$a = $year % 4;
   
$b = $year % 7;
   
$c = $year % 19;
   
$d = (19 * $c + 15) % 30;
   
$e = (2 * $a + 4 * $b - $d + 34) % 7;
   
$month = floor(($d + $e + 114) / 31);
   
$day = (($d + $e + 114) % 31) + 1;
   
   
$de = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day + 13, $year);
   
    return
$de;
}
?>

The algorithm from Bigtree is correct if you add some (int) cast
<?php
  
function easter_date ($Year) {
  
      
/*
       G is the Golden Number-1
       H is 23-Epact (modulo 30)
       I is the number of days from 21 March to the Paschal full moon
       J is the weekday for the Paschal full moon (0=Sunday,
         1=Monday, etc.)
       L is the number of days from 21 March to the Sunday on or before
         the Paschal full moon (a number between -6 and 28)
       */
      

        
$G = $Year % 19;
        
$C = (int)($Year / 100);
        
$H = (int)($C - (int)($C / 4) - (int)((8*$C+13) / 25) + 19*$G + 15) % 30;
        
$I = (int)$H - (int)($H / 28)*(1 - (int)($H / 28)*(int)(29 / ($H + 1))*((int)(21 - $G) / 11));
        
$J = ($Year + (int)($Year/4) + $I + 2 - $C + (int)($C/4)) % 7;
        
$L = $I - $J;
        
$m = 3 + (int)(($L + 40) / 44);
        
$d = $L + 28 - 31 * ((int)($m / 4));
        
$y = $Year;
        
$E = mktime(0,0,0, $m, $d, $y);

         return
$E;

   }
?>
