Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] new idate() - sunrise() - sunset() functions
I haven't been following this whole discussion.
However, the function names should follow the coding standards and be named
something like date_sunrise(), date_sunset() (or whatever other prefix
makes sense).

Hrm, what are these functions?
* {{{ proto mixed sunrise(mixed time[, double latitude][, double
longitude][, double zenith,][ double gtm_offset][, int format])
Returns time of sunrise for a given day location */
/* {{{ proto mixed sunset(mixed time[, double latitude][, double
longitude][, double zenith,][ double gtm_offset][, int format])
Returns time of sunset for a given day location */
i wrote those functions as infrastructures for the calendar extension for
returning optionaly the 'real' date depending on the calendar native e.g,
the jewish dayes are come by the night mean the day is changed on sunset.
the information is is also used for other religion tasks (e.g, jewish and
arabic prayer times), for astronomy studies and for travelers design.

Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] new idate() - sunrise() - sunset() functions
In a similar itch-scratching moment I whipped up a trivial PHP module that groks tzfile timezone files to give you the offset from GMT at any time in the Unix epoch. I needed this to preflight a bunch of data which had been gathered with a lot of disparate time zones into a single UTC version, but I thought it might merit further dissemination. Anyone interested?

Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] new idate() - sunrise() - sunset() functions
I would be very interested. And not just for PHP, tho I would like to see a PHP function for it. We have several apps that are currently obtaining the GMT offset the old-fashion way. 1. Set the TZ=GMT, perform a mktime call. 2. Set TZ to local timezone, perform the same mktime call. 3. Subtract the 2 timestamps. 4. Reset TZ back to its standard value. If you properly set the dst param, the result will be the time difference between the two timezones for whatever date/time you want. As ugly as this seems (and I do agree its ugly), it actually works very well, stable, and performs pretty fast. Our apps perform this sequence tens of thousands times per day at least. I always felt if I had the time I'd try and re-write it to do something along the same you describe, but never got there.
