   ... is a nightmare!

   Obviously, I'm still pretty new to PHP. I'm beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out. It's for a forum-based RPG that I'm working on creating, where the in character world uses a different date system. Essentially, it's based on quarters (starting with December) and uses the day of quarter rather than day of month.

   I found this solution via StackOverflow but being new to PHP and rusty with programming in general, I'm... first of all, not sure how to get the day of quarter to print or how to set it so Q1 begins on December.

   This may be a tall order, and I apologize, but if someone could help me figure this out it would be much appreciated!

   The accepted solution on SO just needs to be wrapped in a class:

   class QuarterDate {
   
   	// functions
   
   }

   Then, you call it by using one of the class functions.

   echo QuarterDate::getCurrentQuarterDay(); // prints "38" (right now)
   echo QuarterDate::getQuarterDay(2, 9, 2003); // prints "40" (9 Feb, 2003)
