<?php
$px = px_new();

/* make up a date as it could be stored in */
/* a date field of a paradox db. */
/* 700000 days since 1.1.0000. */
$days = 700000;

/* Use the calendar functions to print a */
/* human readable format of the date */
echo jdtogregorian($days+1721425)."\n";
/* px_date2string() outputs the same */
echo px_date2string($px, $days, "n/d/Y")."\n";

px_delete($px);
?>
