$begin = new DateTime('2010-05-01');
$end = new DateTime('2010-05-10');
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
$period = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval, $end);
foreach ($period as $dt) {
echo $dt->format("l Y-m-d H:i:s\n");
}
This will output all days in the defined period between $start
and $end
. If you want to include the 10th, set $end
to 11th. You can adjust format to your liking. See the PHP Manual for DatePeriod. It requires PHP 5.3.
This also includes the last date
$begin = new DateTime( "2015-07-03" );
$end = new DateTime( "2015-07-09" );
for($i = $begin; $i <= $end; $i->modify('+1 day')){
echo $i->format("Y-m-d");
}
If you dont need the last date just remove =
from the condition.
Converting to unix timestamps makes doing date math easier in php:
$startTime = strtotime( '2010-05-01 12:00' );
$endTime = strtotime( '2010-05-10 12:00' );
// Loop between timestamps, 24 hours at a time
for ( $i = $startTime; $i <= $endTime; $i = $i + 86400 ) {
$thisDate = date( 'Y-m-d', $i ); // 2010-05-01, 2010-05-02, etc
}
When using PHP with a timezone having DST, make sure to add a time that is not 23:00, 00:00 or 1:00 to protect against days skipping or repeating.
Copy from php.net sample for inclusive range:
$begin = new DateTime( '2012-08-01' );
$end = new DateTime( '2012-08-31' );
$end = $end->modify( '+1 day' );
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);
foreach($daterange as $date){
echo $date->format("Ymd") . "<br>";
}
