Display Dates

[euel]

Hi again!

I'm trying to use this code that i found somewhere in the net to display all the dates between 2 dates.

It is exactly what i need but..

I understand the code and its structure (i think) but it gives me an error (maximum execution time of blah blah) which i think is

because it makes an infinite loop(not sure..  )

 

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){  
        $sCurrentDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($sCurrentDate)));  
      
        $aDays[] = $sCurrentDate;  
      }  
      
      return $aDays;  
    }  

 

 

Appreciate the help and suggestions!

Gonna browse the forums for answers for the meantime...

Don't use gmdate() - just the regular date().

 

gmdate() formats time according to the GMT timezone. strtotime() parses time according to the current timezone. If they aren't the same then you might end up going backwards in time...

Hi @euel

 

This looks helpful as I am looking for something similar with now clue about dates.

 

How do I test it i.e. echo out some results

 

Thanks

Ok I recon to print out the dates it might be something like this:

$aDays = GetDays('01-01-2012', '06-01-2012'); 
echo $aDays;

The problem is it just prints out the word 'array' how do it get it to print out the dates between the above dates.

 

Thanks

i didnt notice your replies since i marked it solved..

if you still have a problem with echoing this:

 

  echo $aDays;

 

since its an array, you should do it like this:

 

 

  print_r($aDays);
