btw, there is a small "locale" error in this code... the date  
presented as an example is in european format of dd/mm/yyyy. this  
code treats it as if it is american style mm/dd/yyyy

just switch order of $m and $d variables and the j and F date format  
string and the code will work for european style dates.
