Loop through dates with strtotime() function

This simple method allows you to start at a date and iterate by either days or months until you reach the end date using my favourite PHP function, strtotime().

[code language=“php“]
<?php
// Set timezone
date_default_timezone_set(‚UTC‘);

// Start date
$date = ‚2009-12-06‘;
// End date
$end_date = ‚2020-12-31‘;

while (strtotime($date) <= strtotime($end_date)) {
echo "$date\n";
//use +1 month to loop through months between start and end dates
$date = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));
}

?>
[/code]
