Example #1 date_sunrise() example

<?php

/* calculate the sunrise time for Lisbon, Portugal
Latitude: 38.4 North
Longitude: 9 West
Zenith ~= 90
offset: +1 GMT
*/

echo date("D M d Y"). ', sunrise time : ' .date_sunrise(time(), SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING38.4, -9901);

After some searching, I finally found a website that can calculate the sun's zenith. Just look up your city's lat/long (remember, west/south are negative even if it doesn't show where you look up the lat/long) and the time of sunrise/sunset and use this site:

http://solardat.uoregon.edu/cgi-bin/SolarPositionCalculator.cgi

You have to enter in the sunrise/sunset times separately, but it works.
San Diego is:
 Lat: 32.73
 Long: -117.17
 Sunrise Z.: 90.7379
 Sunset Z.: 90.8880

If you are working in multiple timezones getting the offset from a date is a little tricky because you need it in hours.

<?php

$time 
= new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles'));

date_sunrise(
 
$time->getTimestamp(),
 
SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP,
 
38.4,
 -
9,
 
90,
 
$time->getOffset() / 3600
);

maybe I am wrong, but I think 

SUNFUNCS_RET_TIMESTAMP     return GMT(0) time

SUNFUNCS_RET_STRING     Return local time
SUNFUNCS_RET_DOUBLE     Return local time
