Dates

I have extracted 2 dates using MySQL, StartDate and EndDate and also
done a DATEDIFF to find out how many days between the two.

What I am wanting to do in PHP is Starting from the StartDate loop
around to a count of the DATEDIFF and add a checkbox with the day name
next to it. Just can't seem to work out the code.

A psuedo code example would be:

Loop until x = DATEDIFF
$DayName = format(StartDate, DATEADD(StartDate, x), '%D')
echo "<input type='checkbox' /> $DayName"
End

I just got round it with something like this, which may be clumsy to
people who know what they are doing but it works for me.

$DayName = Date('D', mktime(0,0,0,$MnthNum,$DyNum + $DCnt,$YrNum));
