All Date between two dates

[NZ_Kiwis]

I have a form where i want to user to type for example 02Nov2010 02Dec2010 and I want a script to display all date inbetween these days and including these dates... how the heck would I do that?

Looks like [man]strtotime/man can handle that date format ... lots of ways to skin this cat ... how about:

<?php

$startdate=strtotime("02Nov2010");
$enddate=strtotime("02Dec2010");
$day=86400;

while ($startdate <= $enddate) {
   echo date('dMY',$startdate);
   $startdate=$startdate+$day;
}
?>

I have this but the pages never loads, i'm guessing it's just looping but it seems right

<?php
$StartDate = strtotime($_POST['FromDate']);
$EndDate = strtotime($_POST['TooDate']);
$OneDay = 86400; 
$n = $StartDate;



while ($n < $EndDate) { 
   echo date('dMY', $n); 
   $n = $n + $day; 
}

?>

I just tested and updated my code. Try that.

The only problem with the above approach is that not every day consists of 86,400 seconds. You could instead use [man]strtotime/man with "+1 day" and pass it the previous $StartDate value.

Yeah I have OneDay wrong in mine. Try good point bradgrefelman!

Same approach where a while command you think?

[NZ_Kiwis]

$Date = strtotime($StartDate);
while (strtotime($StartDate) >= strtotime($EndDate)) { 
   	echo date('dMY', $Date); 
   	$Date = strtotime('+1 Day', $Date);
	echo "<br>";
}

[bradgrafelman]

You'd want to compare $Date in the while() conditional, since $StartDate never changes (thus causing an infinite loop).

[NZ_Kiwis]

$StartDate = strtotime($_POST['FromDate']);
$EndDate = strtotime($_POST['TooDate']);

$Date = strtotime($StartDate);
while (strtotime($Date) <= strtotime($EndDate)) { 
  	echo date('dMY', $Date); 
   	$Date = strtotime('+1 Day', $Date);
	echo "<br>";
}

I only get 1 and 2nd of Jan 1970, why?

[bradgrafelman]

Since $Date is already a Unix timestamp, you shouldn't be using strototime() on it in the while() conditional.

how do i do it then?
