[SOLVED] How to get days between two dates?

[t_machine]

Hi, I am using the following function to get the actual days between two given dates but it is having memory allocation issues.

 

 

$sStartDate = 2009-06-22;
$sEndDate = 2009-06-29;

function _GetDays($sStartDate, $sEndDate){
  $sStartDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime($sStartDate));
  $sEndDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime($sEndDate));
  $aDays[] = $sStartDate;
  $sCurrentDate = $sStartDate;
  
  while($sCurrentDate < $sEndDate){
	// Add a day to the current date
	$sCurrentDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($sCurrentDate)));

	// Add this new day to the aDays array
	$aDays[] = $sCurrentDate;
  }
  return $aDays;
}//EOF

 

What I am trying to do is get it to display 2009-06-22, ..23, ..24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and the 2009-06-29. This would be the days in between the start and end date  including both dates.

 

Any help or a better code would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

$sStartDate = 2009-06-22; and $sEndDate = 2009-06-29; are not dates, they are 1981 (2009 - 6 - 22) and 1974 (2009 - 6 - 29).

 

You need some quotes around those values to make them strings that represent dates.

$sStartDate = "2009-06-22";
$sEndDate = "2009-07-04";

$sStart = strtotime($sStartDate);
$sEnd = strtotime($sEndDate);
$step = 60 * 60 * 24; // sec * min * hour
for ($day = $sStart; $day <= $sEnd; $day += $step) {
  echo date("Y-m-d",$day) . "<br/>";
}

Crayon - what happens when the time between start and end is less than 24h but they are still on different days?

well considering his dates do not seem to cover anything more granular than 24 hour spans...
