Given two dates (start date and end date) and the task is to return all the dates in an array.
Example 1: In this example, use date interval class which stores fixed amount of time (in years, months, days, hours etc) or relative time string in the format that DateTime.
<?php
function getDatesFromRange($start, $end, $format = 'Y-m-d') {
$array = array();
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$realEnd = new DateTime($end);
$realEnd->add($interval);
$period = new DatePeriod(new DateTime($start), $interval, $realEnd);
foreach($period as $date) {
$array[] = $date->format($format);
}
return $array;
}
$Date = getDatesFromRange('2010-10-01', '2010-10-05');
var_dump($Date);
?>
|
Output:
array(5) {
[0]=>
string(10) "2010-10-01"
[1]=>
string(10) "2010-10-02"
[2]=>
string(10) "2010-10-03"
[3]=>
string(10) "2010-10-04"
[4]=>
string(10) "2010-10-05"
}
Example 2: This example use strtotime() function which is used to convert an English textual date-time description to a UNIX timestamp. It returns a timestamp on success, False otherwise.
<?php
$Date1 = '01-10-2010';
$Date2 = '05-10-2010';
$array = array();
$Variable1 = strtotime($Date1);
$Variable2 = strtotime($Date2);
for ($currentDate = $Variable1; $currentDate <= $Variable2;
$currentDate += (86400)) {
$Store = date('Y-m-d', $currentDate);
$array[] = $Store;
}
print_r($array);
?>
|
Output:
Array
(
[0] => 2010-10-01
[1] => 2010-10-02
[2] => 2010-10-03
[3] => 2010-10-04
[4] => 2010-10-05
)
