[jonah] Re: Sun Rise / Set Problem

[Jeff Graves]

I'm guessing it's something to do with this function on your system:

return strftime('%X', mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $mon, $mday, $year));

I'm using PHP 4.3.0 Zend engine 1.3.0 and I just tried the Volkel
Airport and it returned:

Date: 1050427779
YDay: 104 Mon: 4 MDay: 15 Year: 2003 DST: 1 TZ: -4
Lat: 51.650 Long: 5.700

00:44:18
14:31:50

Check it by modifying the return at the end to return the values of
the variables instead of passing them to mktime:

+>	$returnVal = $hour . ':' . $min . ':' . $sec . ':' . $mon . ':' .
$mday . ':' . $year;

        //return strftime('%X', mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $mon, $mday,
$year));
+>	return $returnVal;

See what you get. If you get something other than 12:00:00 and
00:00:00 then the problem is in the return statement. If you still get
those bogus values, then something's wrong in the calculation.

Yep, when i changed over to Mexico these were the values that went
into
calcSunset:

Date: 1050423293
YDay: 104 Mon: 4 MDay: 15 Year: 2003 DST: 1 TZ: 2
Lat: 25.867 Long: -100.233

and returned:
Rise: 12:00:00 Set: 00:00:00

the date on my server is correct as you can see, even worse, it's
synchronised to a NTP-server...
I am baffled, the formula in calcSunset is just a bit to steep for me
to
delve into quickly

Oh yes, i use exactly the same version as you do...
