Hi everyone,

Can someone tell me if there is a php function that returns if a given year is a bisixth year or normal year ?

Thanks in advance,

What the heck is a bisixth year? The term does not show up on google or dictionary.com

In reality I did just the same, I mean I translated the Portuguese word: bisexto to english at babelfish and that's what came back: bisixth.
It's the year when February has 29 days.

A leap year I think he's referring to.

I figured it was lost in translation once I saw you were from Portugal, but I put it though bablefish....

This will tell you if its leap year (the year that has 366 days in it)

PHP Code:


			
function isLeapYear(int year)
{
    if(year % 4 == 0)
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

Basically what the code does is use the modulo operator to see if the year can be divided by four without any remainder. If it can be divided by four, its leap year.
