date_sunrise

(PHP 5)

date_sunrise --  Returns time of sunrise for a given day and location

Description

mixed date_sunrise ( int timestamp [, int format [, float latitude [, float longitude [, float zenith [, float gmt_offset]]]]] )

date_sunrise() returns the sunrise time for a given day (specified as a timestamp) and location. The latitude, longitude and zenith parameters default to the date.default_latitude, date.default_longitude and date.sunrise_zenith configuration options, respectively.

The latitude defaults to North. So, if you want to specify a South value, you must pass a negative value. The same note applies to longitude, which defaults to East.

The gmt_offset parameter is specified in hours.

Tabella 1. format constants

<?php

/* calculate the sunrise time for Lisbon, Portugal
Latitude: 38.4 North
Longitude: 9 West

offset: +1 GMT
*/

echo date("D M d Y"). ', sunrise time : ' .date_sunrise(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, 38.4, -9, 90, 1);

?>
