[RESOLVED] How can I find every day in a date span?

[decibel]

Hello.

I have a date span, like 90 days ago till today, is 2006-11-12 to 2007-02-10, and I need to know every date in the span, like below:

2006-11-12
2006-11-13
2006-11-14
2006-11-15
2006-11-16
etc.

any help would be appreciated much, thanks

<?php
$fr_yr = 2006;
$fr_mo = 11;
$fr_dy = 12;
$date_span = 90;

$arrDATES = array();
FOR ($x = 0; $x < $date_span; $x++) :
  $arrDATE[] = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,$fr_mo, $fr_dy+$x, $fr_yr););
ENDFOR;

print "<pre>";
print_r($arrDATES);
print "</pre>";
?>

I wrote this last night but never got around to posting it. It's a slightly different take on it. It takes the start and end dates and I did it like this because I thought your source dates were in this format, YYYY-mm-dd.

<?php

function GetDates($start, $end)
{
    if(preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/', $start, $match1)
    and ($time1 = mktime(0, 0, 0, $match1[2], $match1[3], $match1[1]))
    and preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/', $end, $match2)
    and ($time2 = mktime(0, 0, 0, $match2[2], $match2[3], $match2[1])))
    {
        while($time2 >= $time1)
        {
            $rtn[] = date('Y-m-d', $time1);
            $time1 += 86400;
        }
        return $rtn;
    }
    return false;
}

print_r(GetDates('2005-06-02', '2006-06-02'));

?>

    {
        while($time2 >= $time1)
        {
            $rtn[] = date('Y-m-d', $time1);
            $time1 += 86400;

        return $rtn;
    }
    return false;
}

print_r(GetDates('2005-06-02', '2006-06-02'));

?>

Or this:

function GetDates($start, $end)
{
    $rtn = false;
    if( ($time1 = strtotime($start)) AND ($time2 = strtotime($end) );
    {
        $rtn = array();
        while($time2 >= $time1)
        {
            $rtn[] = date('Y-m-d', $time1);
            $time1 += 86400;
        }
    }
    return $rtn;
}

Yeah, you could do that, (I was considering that to start with) but I did it this way so I could check the input was formated correctly.

[NightShift58]

I think that strtotime() does that. It returns false if it can't sort things out or a timestamp. That would give your function more "flexibility" - although that could be a two-edged sword...

Also, the function now has a single entry and exit point.

[NightShift58]

¿two-edged or double-edged?

Voy a acabar mal...

Double-edged sword: A benefit that is also a liability, or that carries some significant but non-obvious cost or risk.
