PHP 8.3.4 Released!

unixtojd

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

unixtojd Konvertiert Unix-Timestamp in Julianisches Datum

Beschreibung

unixtojd(?int $timestamp = null): int|false

Diese Funktion konvertiert den in timestamp übergebenen Wert (in Sekunden seit dem 1.1.1970) in das entsprechende Julianische Datum. Wird kein timestamp übergeben, so wird das Julianische Datum des aktuellen Tages zurückgegeben. In beiden Fällen wird die Zeit als lokale Zeit (nicht UTC) angesehen.

Parameter-Liste

timestamp

Ein zu konvertierender Unix Timestamp.

Rückgabewerte

Ein Julianischer Tag als Integer, Bei einem Fehler wird false zurückgegeben..

Changelog

Version Beschreibung
8.0.0 timestamp ist jetzt nullbar.

If you need an easy way to convert an unix timestamp to a decimal julian day you can use:

$julianDay = $unixTimeStamp / 86400 + 2440587.5;

86400 is the number of seconds in a day;
2440587.5 is the julian day at 1/1/1970 0:00 UTC.

Its clearly stated that this function returns the Julian Day, not Julian Day + time.

If you want the time with it you will have to do something like:

$t=time();
$jd=unixtojd($t)+($t%60*60*24)/60*60*24;

unixtojd is slow.
Direct arithmetics calculations are faster and still coherent with original unixtojd.

Feel free to add a test on $timestamp to set it to time() when $timestamp is null.

function fast_unixtojd($timestamp){
return intval($timestamp / 86400 + 2440588);
}

$time = time();
$t_unixtojd = 0;
$t_fast_unixtojd = 0;
for ($t = $time - 240 * 3600; $t < $time; $t++) {
$time1 = microtime(true);
$a = unixtojd($t);
$time2 = microtime(true);
$b = fast_unixtojd($t);
$time3 = microtime(true);
if ($a != $b) {
echo "$a $b $t\n";
break;
}
$t_unixtojd += $time2 - $time1;
$t_fast_unixtojd += $time3 - $time2;
}
echo "unixtojd: $t_unixtojd sec\nfast_unixtojd: $t_fast_unixtojd sec\n";

unixtojd: 0.42854166030884 sec
fast_unixtojd: 0.13218021392822 sec

according to http://www.decimaltime.hynes.net/dates.html#jd and reading "X. Calendar Functions" on this side, it seems that php "jd" is precisely mean as "Chronological Julian Day" (should it be named cjd, and primarily strictly mentioned - isn't it?), used for covnersion between calendar systems. Than it's ok (but Incomplete manual is strongly confusing here IMHO).
Even that, cJD is adjusted to a local time, so... I am rather babeled now, so nothing else :-).

This is unusable. Julian Day start at noon, not midnight. It's better to use Fabio solution (however there is a lurk problem with leap second).

<?php
function mmd($txt, $str_time) {
$t = strtotime($str_time);
$j = unixtojd($t);
$s = gmstrftime('%D %T %Z', $t);
$j_fabio = $t / 86400 + 2440587.5;

printf("${txt} => (%s) %s, %s U, %s J, or %s J<br>\n", $str_time, $s, $t, $j, $j_fabio);
}

//$xt = strtotime("1.1.1970 15:00.00 GMT");
$sam = "9.10.1995 02:00.01 GMT";
$spm = "9.10.1995 22:00.01 GMT";

// unixtojd for $spm returns 2450000 (OK), but for $sam returns 2450000 too! (it is wrong).
mmd("am", $sam); // should be 2449999 (+ 0.58334)
mmd("pm", $spm); // should be 2450000 (+ 0.41668)
?>

Also note that epoch is in UTC time (epoch is a specific point in time - epoch is not different for every time zone), so be aware of timezone complexities.
