Параметри

timestamp

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

returnFormat

returnFormat 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 int (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

zenith is the angle between the center of the sun and a line perpendicular to earth's surface. It defaults to date.sunset_zenith

Common zenith angles
Angle Description
90°50' Sunset: the point where the sun becomes invisible.
96° Civil twilight: conventionally used to signify the end of dusk.
102° Nautical twilight: the point at which the horizon ends being visible at sea.
108° Astronomical twilight: the point at which the sun ends being the source of any illumination.

utcOffset

Specified in hours. The utcOffset is ignored, if returnFormat is SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP.

Значення, що повертаються

Returns the sunset time in a specified returnFormat on success або false в разі помилки. One potential reason for failure is that the sun does not set at all, which happens inside the polar circles for part of the year.

Помилки/виключення

Якщо часовий пояс хибний, то під час кожного виклику функції дати/часу виникатиме E_WARNING. Див. date_default_timezone_set().
