(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)

cal_info -- Returns information about a particular calendar

## Description

array cal_info ( [int calendar] )

cal_info() returns information on the specified `calendar`.

Calendar information is returned as an array containing the elements `calname`, `calsymbol`, `month`, `abbrevmonth` and `maxdaysinmonth`. The names of the different calendars which can be used as `calendar` are as follows:

- 0 or `CAL_GREGORIAN` - Gregorian Calendar

- 1 or `CAL_JULIAN` - Julian Calendar

- 2 or `CAL_JEWISH` - Jewish Calendar

- 3 or `CAL_FRENCH` - French Revolutionary Calendar

If no `calendar` is specified information on all supported calendars is returned as an array. This functionality is available beginning with PHP 5.
