timestamp: Unix timestamp.
latitude: Latitude in degrees.
longitude: Longitude in degrees.

Rückgabewerte

Returns array on successIm Fehlerfall wird FALSE zurückgegeben.. The structure of the array is detailed in the following list:

sunrise: The timestamp of the sunrise (zenith angle = 90°35').
sunset: The timestamp of the sunset (zenith angle = 90°35').
transit: The timestamp when the sun is at its zenith, i.e. has reached its topmost point.
civil_twilight_begin: The start of the civil dawn (zenith angle = 96°). It ends at sunrise.
civil_twilight_end: The end of the civil dusk (zenith angle = 96°). It starts at sunset.
nautical_twilight_begin: The start of the nautical dawn (zenith angle = 102°). It ends at civil_twilight_begin.
nautical_twilight_end: The end of the nautical dusk (zenith angle = 102°). It starts at civil_twilight_end.
astronomical_twilight_begin: The start of the astronomical dawn (zenith angle = 108°). It ends at nautical_twilight_begin.
astronomical_twilight_end: The end of the astronomical dusk (zenith angle = 108°). It starts at nautical_twilight_end.

The values of the array elements are either UNIX timestamps, FALSE if the sun is below the respective zenith for the whole day, or TRUE if the sun is above the respective zenith for the whole day.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 A date_sun_info() example


<?php
$sun_info = date_sun_info(strtotime("2006-12-12"), 31.7667, 35.2333);
foreach ($sun_info as $key => $val) {
    echo "$key: " . date("H:i:s", $val) . "\n";
}
?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

sunrise: 05:52:11
sunset: 15:41:21
transit: 10:46:46
civil_twilight_begin: 05:24:08
civil_twilight_end: 16:09:24
nautical_twilight_begin: 04:52:25
nautical_twilight_end: 16:41:06
astronomical_twilight_begin: 04:21:32
astronomical_twilight_end: 17:12:00

Beispiel #2 Polar night


<?php
var_dump(date_sun_info(strtotime("2017-12-21"), 90, 0));
?>
