I was given this plant today and need to know if it is a sun or shade plant. It blooms a tubular pink flower, but it is not an angel trumpet.

Sorry, the photo I am seeing is not sufficient for me to readily recognize your plant. Maybe someone else will be able to recognize it.
It would help if you could post a few more photos showing the full leaf and stem from the bottom.
Does it appear to be a vine or is it growing from rhizomes?
Was it growing outdoors or was it a houseplant?
You can take this photo to a local garden center or email it to your local Cooperative Extension and they can help you if you don't find the answer here.
i know this plant is familiar to me but just can't seem to call it to mind. You can usually send a photo to your local county extension office and ask for their help.
Hello ! You have been given the Queen of the night : Epiphyllum oxypetalum. It needs a lot of light and warmth and moist but absolutely NO direct sunlight. It flowers only at night time and the flowers appear and die in the same night. It is one of the most fragrant flowers. You will know that the plant is not receiving enought light when the plant produces a lot of cylindar shoots that are sterile and which you can cut at the end of winter. Check on its special cares on the net as some people get flowers the first year they plant just a cutting they have been given and others can wait for years to see the first flower.
A friend helped me identify this plant. She says it is a Night Blooming Cereus but someone else said it was Queen of the Night but I believe these are maybe in the same family and look alike most of the time.
Here are a couple of links to care of both names so you refer to either site for help.
