php all dates between 2 dates?

[mikefrederick]

Thanks ahead of time:

 

If I have two dates , say February 28, 2008 and March 28, 2008, how can I echo every date between them? I supposed I could calculate the difference between the two and do for($day=0, $day<=$difference, $day++) and then do a day+$i type of thing, any other suggestions?

<?php
$date1 = strtotime("February 28, 2008");
$date2 = strtotime("March 28, 2008");
for($i=date1; $i<=$date2; $i+=86400){
echo date("Y-m-d", $i);
}
?>

I'm trying to do same thing and having some problems...

if I run your script I'm getting days counted since 1970...

[tomas@dummy array]$ php test.php | wc -l

13967

 

I tried same using

<?php
$start_day = "01";
$start_month = "01";
$start_year = "2007";
$end_day = "10";
$end_month = "01";
$end_year = "2007";

$start_date = date('Ymd', mktime(0, 0, 0, $start_month, $start_day, $start_year));
$end_date = date('Ymd', mktime(0, 0, 0, $end_month, $end_day, $end_year));

for ($i = $start_date; $i < $end_date; $i++)
{
echo "$i \n";
$newdate = date('c', $i);
echo "$newdate \n";
}
?>

How about this:

<?php
$seed = "February 28, 2008";
$start = strtotime($seed);
$end = strtotime("March 28, 2008");

$i = 0;
while ($start <= $end)
{
  $start = strtotime("{$seed} +{$i} days");
  echo date('F j, Y', $start) . "<br />\n";
  $i++;
}
?>

This worked for me!

<?php
$start_day = "01";
$start_month = "02";
$start_year = "2008";
$end_day = "01";
$end_month = "03";
$end_year = "2008";

$start_date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $start_month, $start_day, $start_year);
$end_date = mktime(0, 0, 0, $end_month, $end_day, $end_year);

for ($i = $start_date; $i < $end_date; $i+=86400)
{
$newdate = date('Y-m-d', $i);
echo "$newdate \n";
}
?>

How about this:

<?php
$seed = "February 28, 2008";
$start = strtotime($seed);
$end = strtotime("March 28, 2008");

$i = 0;
while ($start <= $end)
{
  $start = strtotime("{$seed} +{$i} days");
  echo date('F j, Y', $start) . "<br />\n";
  $i++;
}
?>

I tried following

<?php
$seed = "2008-02-01";
$start = strtotime($seed);
$end = strtotime("2008-03-01");

$i = 0;
while ($start < $end)
{
  $start = strtotime("{$seed} +{$i} days");
  echo date('Y-m-d', $start) . "\n";
  $i++;
}
?>

for some reason first day of march is also included...

this works well if I'm putting $end = strtotime("2008-03-00"), but that's not really a date...

sorry wrong topic

Ugh... my stupidity on that one. Try this as a fix:

<?php
$seed = "February 28, 2008";
$start = strtotime($seed);
$end = strtotime("March 28, 2008");

$i = 0;
while ($start < $end)
{
  echo date('F j, Y', $start) . "<br />\n";
  $i++;
  $start = strtotime("{$seed} +{$i} days");
}
?>
