How to find the current day of the year in PHP?

Question

Is there a standard function in PHP that will find the day number of the year based on the current date?

Examples:

Jan 22nd = 22 
Feb 27th = 58
Mar 5th = 64

If there isn't a standard function, has anyone built anything similar that would handle the conversion? What all is involved?
