Disappointed to find that php’s date() function has no roman numeral conversion, nor is there any preexisting function to do so, I whipped up my own today.

 "V", 10 => "X", 50 => "L", 100 => "C", 500 => "D", 1000 => "M");
    $rom[100] = substr($dec, -3, 1);
    $rom[10] = substr($dec, -2, 1);
    $rom[1] = substr($dec, -1);
    $m = substr($dec, 0, -3);

    foreach($rom as $key => $base){
	   switch($base){
		  case 0:
			 $rom[$key] = "";
			 break;
		  case 9:
			 $rom[$key] = $table[$key].$table[$key*10];
			 break;
		  case 4:
			 $rom[$key] = $table[$key].$table[$key*5];
			 break;
		  case 5:
			 $rom[$key] = $table[$key*5];
			 break;
		  case $base < 4:
			 $rom[$key] = str_repeat($table[$key], $base);
			 break;
		  case $base > 5:
			 $rom[$key] = $table[$key*5].str_repeat($table[$key], $base - 5);
			 break;
	   }
    }
    return str_repeat("M", $m).implode($rom);
}
