Description:
------------
The numbering that cal_from_jd uses for Jewish months is not explained in the documentation.

Apparently, the first six months of the Jewish year (counting from Tishri) are numbered 1 to 6; the last six months are numbered 8 to 13; and 7 appears as a month number only if the year has 13 months total. If the year is 12 months in length, then the number 7 is skipped in the month numbering.

Also, the name "AdarI" is used for Adar in all years, not just years with 13 months.



Test script:
---------------
$n = 2456150;

for ($i=1; $i<=150; $i++) {
    $a = cal_from_jd($n, CAL_GREGORIAN);
    $b = cal_from_jd($n, CAL_JEWISH);
    echo $a['date']."  ";
    echo $b['date']."  ";
    echo $b['monthname']."\n";
    $n+=15;
}

Expected result:
----------------
The script shows Gregorian and corresponding Jewish dates at 15-day intervals. A Jewish month is either 29 or 30 days. Therefore, the interval is too short to skip over any months.


Actual result:
--------------
Please observe the sequence of month names and month numbers returned by the script.

Indeed. However, the jdmonthname and jewishtojd man pages have some
information about this.

This has been reported as bug #54254, and fixed as of PHP 5.5.0.
