Answer 1

You can do it in this or similar way:

function convertDaysToDateTime($days, $year){
    $datetime = new DateTime();
    return $datetime->setTimestamp(mktime(0,0,0,0,0,$year) + $days * 24 * 3600);
}

$days = 166.0444;       
$datetime = convertDaysToDateTime($days, date('Y'));

echo $datetime->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s');
