For kicks I was playing around with calculating some dusk/sunset stuff (in this case, minutes between sunset and dusk), but running into some issues. I wrote the following to calculate the difference, but no matter what I do, I get the same result:

ph_secondsafter(
     ph_getsuntime( date("12-21-2007"), 2),
     ph_getsuntime( date("12-21-2007"), 4)
     ) / 60

I can limit the problem to this:

ph_getsuntime( date("12-21-2007"), 2)

When I call ph_getsuntime and pass in today(), it works, but when I try passing in a date("") as shown above, I always get the same result returned. So, if I pass in 6 instead of 12 for the month, I get sunset of just after 5pm, etc. Am I doing something wrong here? The date() function seems to work fine, so either I'm doing something wrong or there's something up with ph_getsuntime ... thx!

Try this:

ph_getsuntime(datetime("12-21-2007"), 2)

Ha! Thanks!

Sad part is I thought about trying another date function but thought, nope, that's not it -- date() should work! :)

Thanks for the help!
