From: vascowhite at gmail dot com Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.4.4 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:3rd Parameter in Date_Sunrise() and Date_Sunset() is incorrectly named. Description: ------------ See the documentation at http://us2.php.net/function.date-sunrise and at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.date-sunset.php zenith:- This is the point on the celestial sphere directly above the observer's head and will have no bearing on the calculation whatsoever. 'zenith = 90' makes no sense at all. The term you are looking for is 'azimuth', which is used in sunrise, sunset calculations to tell if the bearing of the sun from the observer is East or West of North. Hence, the 3rd parameter in these functions should be 'azimuth' and not 'zenith'.
