Print out all dates in a range?

(This is a duplicate from php.dev)

Hi

I need a way to get all of the date stamps between two date stamps.

For example, I might have 2007-02-05 and 2007-05-15, which is Feb.
2nd, 2007 through May 15, 2007.

What I want to do is just print out all of the stamps, in that format,
between those two dates.

For example:

2007-02-05
2007-02-06
2007-02-07
..........
2007-02-28
2007-03-01
..........
2007-05-15

I'd need the script to know if it's a leap year, etc...

I'm sure there is a way to do this, I just don't know of one.

Any help is really appreciated.

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>';
?>
