Suppose I have 2 dates say 29 Aug 2014 and 3 Sep 2014. I need to display all dates between these to dates in the below format.
Aug 2014
29 Fri
30 Sat
31 Sun
Sept 2014
01 Mon
02 Tue
03 Wed
I know how to print all the dates like 29,30,31,1,2,3. But what I am unable to do is to get the month names in between.
Pretty easy question to be honest, pretty basic sollution possible..
$dateRange = new DatePeriod(
new DateTime('2014-07-28'),
new DateInterval('P1D'),
new DateTime('2014-08-04 00:00:01')
);
$month = null;
foreach ($dateRange as $date)
{
$currentMonth = $date->format('m Y');
if ($currentMonth != $month)
{
$month = $date->format('m Y');
echo $date->format('F Y').'<br />';
}
echo $date->format('d D').'<br />';
}
Above sollution results in:
July 2014
28 Mon
29 Tue
30 Wed
31 Thu
August 2014
01 Fri
02 Sat
03 Sun
Do mind it needs PHP >= 5.3 (due to the use of DatePeriod), but the actual logic to solve your question is easy to implement regardless of the used PHP version.
$timeS = strtotime("29 Aug 2014");
$timeE = strtotime("3 Sep 2014");
$monthS = -1;
$time = $timeS;
while ($time < $timeE) {
if ($monthS != date("n", $time)) {
echo date("M Y", $time) . "
";
$monthS = date("n", $time);
}
echo date("d D", $time) . "
";
$time = strtotime("+1 day", $time);
}
Edit: After doing it I'm pretty ok with @hindmost comment :)
I think , this is the complete code , as you wanted.
Executed code is here...

<?php
$currentMonth = null;
$timeS = strtotime("29 Aug 2013");
$timeE = strtotime("3 Sep 2014");
$time = $timeS;
while ($time < $timeE) {
$month = date("M", $time);
$year = date("Y", $time);
if ($month != $currentMonth)
echo "<br /><h3>".$month."- ".$year."</h3>";
$currentMonth = $month;
echo "<br />".date("d D", $time);
$time = strtotime("+1 day", $time);
}
?>
