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_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.

7.2.0	The calculation was fixed with regards to local midnight instead of local noon, which changes the results slightly.

示例

示例 #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";
}
?>

以上示例会输出：

 
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

示例 #2 Polar night, with some processing

<?php
$tz = new \DateTimeZone('America/Anchorage');

$si = date_sun_info(strtotime("2022-12-21"), 70.21, -148.51);
foreach ($si as $key => $value) {
    echo
        match ($value) {
            true => 'always',
            false => 'never',
            default => date_create("@{$value}")->setTimeZone($tz)->format( 'H:i:s T' ),
        },
        ": {$key}",
        "\n";
}
?>

以上示例会输出：

 
never: sunrise
never: sunset
12:52:18 AKST: transit
10:53:19 AKST: civil_twilight_begin
14:51:17 AKST: civil_twilight_end
09:01:47 AKST: nautical_twilight_begin
16:42:48 AKST: nautical_twilight_end
07:40:47 AKST: astronomical_twilight_begin
18:03:49 AKST: astronomical_twilight_end

示例 #3 Midnight sun (Tromsø, Norway)

<?php
$si = date_sun_info(strtotime("2022-06-26"), 69.68, 18.94);
print_r($si);
?>

以上示例会输出：

 
Array
(
    [sunrise] => 1
    [sunset] => 1
    [transit] => 1656240426
    [civil_twilight_begin] => 1
    [civil_twilight_end] => 1
    [nautical_twilight_begin] => 1
    [nautical_twilight_end] => 1
    [astronomical_twilight_begin] => 1
    [astronomical_twilight_end] => 1
)

示例 #4 Calculating length of day (Kyiv)

<?php
$si = date_sun_info(strtotime('2022-08-26'), 50.45, 30.52);
$diff = $si['sunset'] - $si['sunrise'];
echo "Length of day: ",
    floor($diff / 3600), "h ",
    floor(($diff % 3600) / 60), "s\n";
?>

以上示例会输出：

 
Length of day: 13h 56s

In the last example, conversion from seconds to Hour, Minutes, Seconds is wrong.
This is the correct verion:

<?php
$si = date_sun_info(strtotime('2022-08-26'), 50.45, 30.52);
$diff = $si['sunset'] - $si['sunrise'];  # $diff is measured in seconds.
echo "Length of day: ",
    floor($diff / 3600), "h",
    floor(($diff % 3600) / 60), "m",
    floor($diff % 60), "s\n";
?>

Output:
  Length of day: 13h53m15s
