Generate Julian date

Question

I have a piece of code which generates Julian date, but i need to generate a three digit Julian date. Can any help me out

Code:

$jd = GregorianToJD(08, 02, 2013);

Output: 2456507

Do you mean the day of the year? If so, that's not a [Julian date](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_date). — Keith Thompson, Feb 08 '13 at 08:39

see this function cal_from_jd return tree of calendar information like month, day, year, day of week http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.cal-from-jd.php

  $jd = GregorianToJD(08, 02, 2013);
  print_r(cal_from_jd($jd, CAL_JULIAN));

if you have php 5.3 and newer version you can use IntlDateFormatter that can convert To all calender and timezone
