Date_Holidays pear.php.net

Driver based class to calculate holidays.

Date_Holidays helps you calculate the dates and titles of holidays and other special celebrations. The calculation is driver-based so it is easy to add new drivers that calculate a country's holidays. The methods of the class can be used to get a holiday's date and title in various languages.
