The array that is returned has the following information.
num = The current lunar rotation (not used often)
phase = The phase the moon is currently moving towards(full, last, new, first)
current = The current sub phase (Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, Waning Crescent, Waxing Crescent)
next = Same as phase just formatted better (Full Moon, Last Quarter, New Moon, First Quarter)

// would say something like
// You can currently see 10% of the moon. It is
//currently a Waxing Crescent and is moving towards
//a First Quarter and will get there on (some date).
$moon = moon(strtotime('November 5 2006'));
// returns the moons info for november 5 2006 00:00
