Leap Year Program
A leap year is the one which has 366 days in a year. A leap year comes after every four years. Hence a leap year is always a multiple of four.
For example, 2016, 2020, 2024, etc are leap years.
Leap Year Program
This program states whether a year is leap year or not from the specified range of years (1991 - 2016).
Example:
<?php
function isLeap($year)
{
return (date('L', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, $year))==1);
}
//For testing
for($year=1991; $year<2016; $year++)
{
If (isLeap($year))
{
echo "$year : LEAP YEAR <br/>n";
}
else
{
echo "$year : Not leap year<br/>n";
}
}
?>
Output
Leap Year Program in Form
This program states whether a year is leap year or not by inserting a year in the form.
Example:
<html>
<body>
<form method="post">
Enter the Year: <input type="text" name="year">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if($_POST)
{
//get the year
$year = $_POST['year'];
//check if entered value is a number
if(!is_numeric($year))
{
echo "Strings not allowed, Input should be a number";
return;
}
//multiple conditions to check the leap year
if( (0 == $year % 4) and (0 != $year % 100) or (0 == $year % 400) )
{
echo "$year is a Leap Year";
}
else
{
echo "$year is not a Leap Year";
}
}
?>
