Ways to get all dates between two dates
1. Using strtotime() function
In this method, we will use the strtotime() function to get the all dates between two dates.
We will create a function which contains only start date and end date parameters, that returns the array of dates between two dates.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | <?php function getBetweenDates($startDate, $endDate) { $rangArray = []; $startDate = strtotime($startDate); $endDate = strtotime($endDate); for ($currentDate = $startDate; $currentDate <= $endDate; $currentDate += (86400)) { $date = date('Y-m-d', $currentDate); $rangArray[] = $date; } return $rangArray; } $dates = getBetweenDates('2022-07-01', '2022-07-09'); print_r($dates); ?> |
2. Using date interval class
Let’s use the following code to get the list of dates between two dates using date interval class.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | <?php function getBetweenDates($startDate, $endDate) { $array = array(); $interval = new DateInterval('P1D'); $realEnd = new DateTime($endDate); $realEnd->add($interval); $period = new DatePeriod(new DateTime($startDate), $interval, $realEnd); foreach($period as $date) { $array[] = $date->format('Y-m-d'); } return $array; } $dates = getBetweenDates('2022-07-01', '2022-07-09'); print_r($dates); ?> |
Output
You will get the following output.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | Array ( [0] => 2022-07-01 [1] => 2022-07-02 [2] => 2022-07-03 [3] => 2022-07-04 [4] => 2022-07-05 [5] => 2022-07-06 [6] => 2022-07-07 [7] => 2022-07-08 [8] => 2022-07-09 ) |
