Sometimes it is useful to have the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, which is sortable (e.g. you can sort dates by sorting the strings):
<?php
function JDToSortableJewish($jd) {
return
preg_replace("|(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)|","$3-$1-$2", // year-month-day
preg_replace("|/(\d)/|","/0$1/", // add zeros to the day
preg_replace("|^(\d)/|","0$1/", // add zeros to the month
JDToJewish($jd))));
}
?>

In Hebrew leap years, the function will return 6 for Adar A, 7 for Adar B, 8 for Nisan, etc.
In Hebrew non-leap years, the function will return 6 for Adar, 8 for Nisan, etc.
i.e., the "real" Adar is Adar A.

This function outputs in ISO-8859-8-l.
To convert to unicode UTF-8 do this:
<?php
echo mb_convert_encoding( jdtojewish( unixtojd(), true ), "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-8");

Based on the code already posted by Dave, I've modified it to display the *current* date on a page:
<?php
$gregorianMonth = date(n);
$gregorianDay = date(j);
$gregorianYear = date(Y);
$jdDate = gregoriantojd($gregorianMonth,$gregorianDay,$gregorianYear);
$hebrewMonthName = jdmonthname($jdDate,4);
$hebrewDate = jdtojewish($jdDate);
list($hebrewMonth, $hebrewDay, $hebrewYear) = split('/',$hebrewDate);
echo "$hebrewDay $hebrewMonthName $hebrewYear";
?>

There's probably a simpler way to do this, but I needed to convert a Gregorian date to a Hebrew one and display it with the Hebrew month name (not the number).
Perhaps it can help somebody...
<?php
//enter your Gregorian date with the variables $gregorianMonth, $gregorianDay, and $gregorianYear using the numerical representation of the month
$jdDate = gregoriantojd ( $gregorianMonth, $gregorianDay, $gregorianYear);
$gregorianMonthName = jdmonthname ( $jdDate, 1 );
$hebrewDate = jdtojewish ($jdDate);
list ($hebrewMonth, $hebrewDay, $hebrewYear) = split ('/', $hebrewDate);
$hebrewMonthName = jdmonthname ( $jdDate, 4);
echo "Your date in Hebrew would read: $hebrewDay $hebrewMonthName $hebrewYear";
?>
