Behzad,
The code probably isn't commented as well as it could. However, my bust
guess:
1). $i is probably the month number (0-11 instead of 1-12). $leap would
be true or false, depending on if it's a leap year. If it is a leap
year ($leap == true) and February ($i == 1), then add 1 to the number of
days in the month ($g_days_in_month[$i]). It works because a "true"
value is converted to an int with the value of "1". False converted to
an int has the value "0".
2). I haven't seen it - I suspect's a user-defined function. I have no
idea what it does, other than there are 1461 days every 4 years (with 3
exceptions every 400 years...). So perhaps it returns an integer value
of the results of the division. This would tell how many 4-year blocks
there are, Multiply by 4 to get the number of years.
