It may also include other calendar specific settings, such as the Gregorian/Julian transition instant.

other: The other calendar against which the comparison is to be made.

Return Values

<?php
$cal1 = IntlCalendar::createInstance('Europe/Lisbon', 'pt_PT');
$cal2 = IntlCalendar::createInstance('Europe/Lisbon', 'es_ES');
$cal2->clear();

var_dump($cal1->isEquivalentTo($cal2)); // true

$cal3 = IntlCalendar::createInstance('Europe/Lisbon', 'en_US');
var_dump($cal1->isEquivalentTo($cal3)); // false
var_dump($cal1->getFirstDayOfWeek(),    // 2 (Monday)
