You can also get a Chinese zodiac sign by setting the second parameter to 'Chinese'. The Chinese Zodiac consists of a 12-year cycle, each year of which is named after a different animal that imparts distinct characteristics of its year. For example, the year 2009 is the Year of the Ox:

echo $zodiacSign->name($data['User']['birthday'], 'Chinese');
