Example 1: In this example, use date interval class which stores fixed amount of time (in years, months, days, hours etc) or relative time string in the format that DateTime.

[PHP]
function getDatesFromRange($start, $end, $format = ‘Y-m-d’) {

// Declare an empty array
$array = array();

// Variable that store the date interval
// of period 1 day
$interval = new DateInterval(‘P1D’);

$realEnd = new DateTime($end);
$realEnd->add($interval);

$period = new DatePeriod(new DateTime($start), $interval, $realEnd);

// Use loop to store date into array
foreach($period as $date) {
$array[] = $date->format($format);
}

// Return the array elements
return $array;
}

// Function call with passing the start date and end date
$Date = getDatesFromRange(‘2010-10-01’, ‘2010-10-05’);

var_dump($Date);

?>
