month difference

[jeeva]

hi frnds

 

how can i get month difference between two months for example if i have selected 12-2006 and

05-2007 then i need to get  the dates like 12-2006,01-2007,02-2007,03-2007,04-2007 and 05-2007.

 

can i get like that?

well, I would solve this problem by using timestamps. for expample:

$start=strtotime("2006-12-01");
$end=strtotime("2007-05-01");
for($x=$start;$x<$end){
$x+=86400*32; //No month has more than 31 days, so you're now in the next month
$x=mktime(0,0,0,date("m",$x),1,date("Y",$x)); //now the timestamps points to the first day of the month
echo date("m-Y");
}

Here's a solution that just uses the strtotime() funciton:

<?php
$test=strtotime("2006-12-01");
$end=strtotime("2007-05-01");
$tmp = array();
while ($test <= $end) {
$tmp[] = date('m-Y',$test);
$test = strtotime("+1 month",$test);
}
echo implode(', ',$tmp);
?>
