There is a Note towards the end of documentation for easter_date(). What happens when you try the sample code it provides?

My solve for this:
<?php

function EasterDate($X){	// X = year to compute
	$str=$X;
	if($X>0){
		$K  = floor($X / 100);									// Secular number
		$M  = ceil(15 + (3 * $K + 3) / 4 - (8 * $K + 13) / 25);	// Secular Moon shift
		$S  = ceil(2 - (3 * $K + 3) / 4);						// Secular sun shift
		$A  = $X % 19;											// Moon parameter
		$D  = (19 * $A + $M) % 30;								// Seed for 1st full Moon in spring
		$R  = floor($D / 29 + ($D / 28 - $D / 29) * ($A / 11));	// Calendarian correction quantity
		$OG = 21 + $D - $R;										// Easter limit
		$SZ = 7 - floor($X + $X / 4 + $S) % 7;					// 1st sunday in March
		$OE = 7 - ($OG - $SZ) % 7;								// Distance Easter sunday from Easter limit in days
		
		$dt = (((($OG + $OE)%31)==0)?31:(($OG + $OE)%31));
		$mn = ((($OG + $OE)>31)?4:3);
		return new DateTime($X."-".$mn."-".$dt);
		//return $date->format('c (l) e');
		}
	return $str;
	}
echo '<table border="1">';
for($i=1970; $i<2038; $i++){
	echo '<tr><td>'.date("c (l) e", easter_date($i)).'</td>
				<td>'.EasterDate($i)->format('c (l) e').'</td></tr>'; }
echo '<table>';

?>

Okay, you decided to do the calculations yourself, that's fine. If you're still interested in resolving your original problem then feel free to answer my earlier question.

Same for all years. PHP 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4
 [2020-01-14 18:46 UTC] requinix@php.net 
Same questions for you @rui: did you see the note in the documentation, and does the code in it give the expected output?
