Tips and Notes
Tip: The French Republican Calendar is a calendar proposed during the French Revolution, and used by the French government for about twelve years from late 1793. This function only convert dates in years 1 through 14 (Gregorian dates 22 September 1792 - 22 September 1806). This more than covers the period when the calendar was in use.Example

$d=frenchtojd(3,3,14);
echo($d);
?>
$d=frenchtojd(3,3,14);
echo($d);
