In this blog, I’m explaining concepts and techniques related to both the way so-called “Jewish times” (zmanim) are calculated; as well as the techniques needed to use the PHP Zmanim library – a library of functions that let you easily calculate Jewish times.
The PHPZmanim library is maintained by Zachary Weixelbaum. As with so many things in tech today, PHP Zmanim is, itself, based on the foundational Kosher Java library by Eliyahu Hershfeld. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to both Zachary and Eliyahu – not only for the work they put into developing those libraries, but also for the support they have given me as I came up to speed on both the technical and Jewish religious guidelines (halacha) needed to use them.
