The above example doesn't actually output the way that the instructions specify. Write the code like this to get the more human readable output:
<?php
$info = cal_info(0);
print ( '<pre>' );
print_r($info);
print ( '</pre>' );
?>
cal_info
Description
array cal_info ( [int calendar] )cal_info() returns information on the specified calendar.
Calendar information is returned as an array containing the elements calname, calsymbol, month, abbrevmonth and maxdaysinmonth. The names of the different calendars which can be used as calendar are as follows:
0 or CAL_GREGORIAN - Gregorian Calendar
1 or CAL_JULIAN - Julian Calendar
2 or CAL_JEWISH - Jewish Calendar
3 or CAL_FRENCH - French Revolutionary Calendar
If no calendar is specified information on all supported calendars is returned as an array. This functionality is available beginning with PHP 5.

A little example code to show the array structure:
<?php
$aCalendars = array( CAL_GREGORIAN, CAL_JULIAN, CALL_JEWISH, CAL_FRENCH );
foreach ( $aCalendars as $cal ) {
$aCalInfo = cal_info( $cal );
echo "cal_info( " . $aCalInfo['calsymbol'] . " ) = ";
print_r( $aCalInfo );
echo "\n\n";
}
?>
will return this:
cal_info( CAL_GREGORIAN ) = Array

I think I've identified the calendar indexes used in the 'cal_*' functions, though this may be incomplete.
0 - Gregorian
1 - Julian
2 - Jewish
3 - French Revolutionary
