Date help - fetch dates for Mondays between xxx and yyy?

[benphp]

Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have two dates, say:

 

2010-01-26 and 2010-05-30

 

and I want to return the dates of all the Mondays between them:

 

2010-02-01

2010-02-08

2010-02-15

....etc.

 

Thanks!

<?php
// find all dates of a specific day of week (monday)
$day = 'Monday'; // which day name to find
$start = '2010-01-26'; // starting date
$end = '2010-05-30'; // ending date

$date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("$start $day")); // get the first date matching the day to be found

// check if the first matching date is <= the $end date
if($date<=$end){
$array = array(); // array to hold the results
while($date <= $end){
	$array[] = $date; // store the date
	$date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("$date + 1 week"));
}
echo "These are the matching dates:";
echo "<pre>",print_r($array,true),"</pre>";
} else {
echo "There are no matching dates between: $start and $end<br />";
}
?>

Thanks! Yours is better than mine. I ended up doing it this way:

 

<?php
$startWeek = date("W", mktime(0,0,0,$smonth,$sday,$syear)) * 1;
$endWeek = date("W", mktime(0,0,0,$emonth,$eday,$eyear)) * 1; //End Week Number
$endWeek = $endWeek - $startWeek; //number of weeks out
for($i=$startWeek; $i<=$endWeek; $i++){
	print date("Y-m-d", strtotime(' Monday +'.$i.' week')) . "<br />";
}
?>

BTW, mine didn't work, so I used yours

 

THANKS!

if($date<=$end){
	$array = array(); // array to hold the results
	while($date <= $end){
