Challenge: Sunrise/Sunset on your forum?

[okhissabigfish]

I have a fishing lake website. Fishing rules state that fishing shall start at sunrise and end at sunset daily. I found this code and would love to place a form that places the data somewhere on forumhome.

This kind of creation is a bit over my head...but, I haven't seen anyone work with date/time/events too much here. Anyone up for the challenge? Hopefully when done the member will be able to read the output on screen at page reload, etc. I've not tested this script.

SunRise/SunSet Code:

<?php

class Astro_Sunrise {

// coordinates to calculate sunrise/sunset for
var $lat = 47.0452; // -90..+90; > 0 is north of the equator
var $lon = 7.2715; // -180..+180; > 0 is east of Greenwich

// date
var $year; // 4 digits, please
var $month;
var $mday; // day of the month
var $tz; // timezone offset in hours, > 0 is east of GMT, < 0 is west
var $yday; // day of the year

var $twilight = array(
'effective' => -.0145439, // sunrise/sunset
'civil' => -.104528, // civil twilight
'nautical' => -.207912, // nautical twilight
'astronomical' => -.309017 // astronomical twilight
);

var $R; // radius used for twilight calculation

var $last_utc; // UNIX timestamp of last calculation

function Astro_Sunrise() {
$this->setTwilight('effective');
}

function setCoords($lat, $lon) {

This script, as it is, has no output.
It does however include several functions related to sunrise & sunset.
What is your desired output from this script?

[okhissabigfish]

Based on either city, state or longitude/latitude (what ever the script requires) it would state the sunrise and sunset times for each day of the year. Hopefully placed near the NavBar or right under it.

I have the longitude and latitude of the lake's location. City= Bude, Mississippi.
