The date_sunrise function got deprecated with PHP 8.1. If this still happens with the replacement
sun_info() function, please file a new ticket at https://github.com/php/php-src/issues.

This is almost certainly a timelib[1] issue, and might have been
introduced with commit 8d0066f66[2].

Description:
------------
Hi all,
I wrote some php code that operates & logs data on a solar PV system. It makes use of
date_sunrise / date_sunset methods to determine approximately when the system should be active. The
system failed to start today because the next sunrise time was off by 24h. After evaluating the code
and writing a short script, confirmed that the date_sunrise / date_sunset functions appear to skip a
day at midnight Sept 23-24, 2020 - at least when given lat/long coordinates in New Zealand when the
local machine is set to NZST (UTC+12). When given a time after Sept 24th, the returned
sunrise/sunset times will be 1 day in the future.
Attaching sample code to reproduce the issue.
Thanks for any update.
Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$today=1600776000; // 2020-09-23 00:00:00 NZST (= 2020-09-22 12:00:00 UTC)
$i=0;
while ($i<=72)
{
print($today." ".date('Y-m-d H:i:s',$today)." Rise:".
date_sunrise($today,SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP,-38.6623,178.0176)." Set:".
date_sunset($today,SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP,-38.6623,178.0176).
"\n");
++$i;
$today+=3600;
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Test code should generate a list of 72 entries by hour. Every 24 entries the Rise/Set values for
sunrise/sunset should increment by roughly 86400 (1 day in seconds). I'm not actually clear on
exactly when this method is expected to increment the date - it appears to depend on the current
timezone setting (or perhaps solar midnight at the lat/long?). Regardless, at local (NZST) midnight
on Sept 23/24 the returned values increment by 2 days. Here is a sample line from the output on Sept
23 when run in New Zealand Standard Time that works as expected:
1600819200 2020-09-23 12:00:00 Rise:1600797323 Set:1600841112
Actual result:
--------------
Here is a portion of the result for 4 key points in time when run on a Raspberry Pi set to New
Zealand Standard Time:
1600819200 2020-09-23 12:00:00 Rise:1600797323 Set:1600841112
1600858800 2020-09-23 23:00:00 Rise:1600797323 Set:1600841112
1600862400 2020-09-24 00:00:00 Rise:1600970027 Set:1601013966
1600905600 2020-09-24 12:00:00 Rise:1600970027 Set:1601013966
Lines 1 and 2 are correct / expected, lines 3 and 4 are incorrect - Rise and Set values should be
about 86400 (1 day) lower.
