date_sunrise

(PHP 5)

date_sunrise — 返回给定的日期与地点的日出时间

说明

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

date_sunrise() 返回给定的日期（以 timestamp 指定）与地点的日出时间。latitude，longitude 和 zenith 参数默认值分别为配置选项中的 date.default_latitude，date.default_longitude 和 date.sunrise_zenith。

latitude 默认是指北纬。因此如果要指定南纬，必须传递一个负值。同样规则也适用于 longitude，其默认是指东经。

gmt_offset 参数的单位是小时。

format 常量
常量 说明 取值举例
SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING 以 string 格式返回结果 16:46
SUNFUNCS_RET_DOUBLE 以 float 格式返回结果 16.78243132
SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP 以 integer 格式（时间戳）返回结果 1095034606

Example #1 date_sunrise() 例子

<?php

/* 计算葡萄牙里斯本的日出时间
Latitude:  北纬 38.4 度
Longitude: 西经 9 度
Zenith ~= 90
offset: +1 GMT
*/

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

?>

以上例程的输出类似于：

Mon Dec 20 2004, sunrise time : 08:54

参见 date_sunset()。

参数

timestamp

The timestamp of the day from which the sunrise time is taken.

format

format constants
constant description example
SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING returns the result as string 16:46
SUNFUNCS_RET_DOUBLE returns the result as float 16.78243132
SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP returns the result as integer (timestamp) 1095034606

latitude

Defaults to North, pass in a negative value for South. See also: date.default_latitude

longitude

Defaults to East, pass in a negative value for West. See also: date.default_longitude

zenith

Default: date.sunrise_zenith

gmtoffset

Specified in hours.

返回值

Returns the sunrise time in a specified format on success 或者在失败时返回 FALSE.

错误/异常

在每 次调用日期/时间函数时，如果时区无效则会引发 E_NOTICE 错误，如果使用系统设定值或 TZ 环境变量，则会引发 E_STRICT 或 E_WARNING 消息。参见 date_default_timezone_set()

更新日志

版本 说明
5.1.0

现在发布 E_STRICT 和 E_NOTICE 时区错误。

范例

Example #2 date_sunrise() example

<?php

/* calculate the sunrise time for Lisbon, Portugal
Latitude: 38.4 North
Longitude: 9 West
Zenith ~= 90
offset: +1 GMT
*/

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

?>

以上例程的输出类似于：

After some searching, I finally found a website that can calculate the sun's zenith. Just look up your city's lat/long (remember, west/south are negative even if it doesn't show where you look up the lat/long) and the time of sunrise/sunset and use this site:

http://solardat.uoregon.edu/cgi-bin/SolarPositionCalculator.cgi

You have to enter in the sunrise/sunset times separately, but it works.
San Diego is:
 Lat: 32.73
 Long: -117.17
 Sunrise Z.: 90.7379
 Sunset Z.: 90.8880

Just for those that are as stupid as me
for the settings in php.ini and sunrise/sunset after googling for a while if found this info

;`Zenith' is the angle that the centre of the Sun makes to a line perpendicular to the Earth's surface.
;
; The best Overall figure for zenith is 90+(50/60) degrees for true sunrise/sunset
; Civil twilight 96 degrees - Conventionally used to signify twilight
; Nautical twilight 102 degrees - the point at which the horizon stops being visible at sea.
; Astronical twilight at 108 degrees - the point when Sun stops being a source of any illumination.
;
;date.sunrise_zenith = 90.583333  85.4
;date.sunset_zenith = 90.583333   85.4

The way to use this:

<?php

// De Bilt, The Netherlands, weather station #06260
$lat = 52.10;    // North
$long = 5.18;    // East
$offset = 1;    // difference between GMT and local time in hours

$zenith=90+50/60;
echo "<br><p>Sunrise: ".date_sunrise(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);
echo "<br>Sunset: ".date_sunset(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);

$zenith=96;
echo "<br><p>Civilian Twilight start: ".date_sunrise(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);
echo "<br>Civilian Twilight end: ".date_sunset(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);

$zenith=102;
echo "<br><p>Nautical Twilight start: ".date_sunrise(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);
echo "<br>Nautical Twilight end: ".date_sunset(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);

$zenith=108;
echo "<br><p>Astronomical Twilight start: ".date_sunrise(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);
echo "<br>Astronomical Twilight end: ".date_sunset(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING, $lat, $long, $zenith, $offset);

?>

Zenith according to the U.S. Navy's 1990 Almanac for Computers.
