I would use get the Unix timestamp of the starting date. Use that as the
start of a loop, adding 86400 (the number of seconds in a day) to the
loop index, and end when the loop index exceeds the end day. Either
print the dates from the loop or store them in an array.

Here is one solution:

<?php
function list_dates($start,$end) {
$ret = array();
$sts = strtotime($start);
$ets = strtotime($end);
if ($ets < $sts) return (false);
for($i=$sts;$i<=$ets;$i+=86400)
$ret[] = $i;
return($ret);
}

$dates = list_dates('December 29, 2007','March 4,2008');
if (is_array($dates))
foreach ($dates as $dt)
echo date('Y-m-d',$dt) . '<br>';
?>
