Can be used to get planetary positions for specified location and time. 7502PHP Since Feb 17Pushed 4y ago1 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/nastal/swephe-php)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/nastasin/swephetest)[ RSS](/packages/nastasin-swephetest/feed)WikiDiscussions master Synced today READMEChangelogDependenciesVersions (1)Used By (0) Simple swiss ephemeris wrapper ============================== [](#simple-swiss-ephemeris-wrapper) This package is a simple wrapper around swiss ephemeris test command to gain planetary positions with '-sid1' option by default to apply Siderial (Lahiri Ayanamsha) calculations. You can find more docs explaining options on [Swiss Ephemeris Test Page ](https://www.astro.com/swisseph/swetest.htm) This repository includes following ephemeris files for a period 1800 AD – 2399 AD: - sepl\_18.se1 = Planetary file - semo\_18.se1 = Moon file - seas\_18.se1 = Main asteroid file - swetest = executable file Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This package were tested with builds based on Linux (Ubuntu) and PHP 7.4-fpm and PHP 8.0-fpm Additional packages already included in composer file. Features -------- [](#features) - Build-in step and step size options to get planetary positions for period with one execution. - Accepts Carbon object with UTC, in result output you - By default calculates Sun and Moon positions. - Accepts decimal Latitude and Longitude for geo position. - Elevation level - Outputs [Laravel collection](https://laravel.com/docs/master/collections) of mapped data Usage and code examples ----------------------- [](#usage-and-code-examples) Install with `composer require nastasin/swephetest` ``` use Carbon\Carbon; use Nastasin\SwissEpheWrapper\SwissEpheWrapper; //Sun and Moon longitude positions by default $options = [ SwissEpheWrapper::OPT_DATETIME => Carbon::now()->setTimezone('UTC'), //UTC required SwissEpheWrapper::OPT_LNG => 24.105078, //coordinates for city (Riga/Europe in example) SwissEpheWrapper::OPT_LAT => 56.946285 ]; $planetary = new SwissEpheWrapper($options); $planetary->get() ``` ### outputs: [](#outputs) ``` Illuminate\Support\Collection {#7 ▼ #items: array:1 [▼ 0 => Illuminate\Support\Collection {#5 ▼ #items: array:3 [▼ 0 => array:2 [▼ 0 => 303.868487 //Sun longitude at present day 1 => 1.0092834 //Sun speed longitude decimal (degrees/day) ] 1 => array:2 [▼ 0 => 124.2552189 //Moon longitude at present day 1 => 12.7868005 //Moon speed longitude decimal (degrees/day) ] 2 => Carbon\Carbon @1645033465 { ▼ ... date: 2022-02-16 17:44:25.800801 UTC (+00:00) //Carbon::now(at a moment of example) } ] } ] } ``` --- With explained options.
