你也可以看看DatePeriod类:

$period = new DatePeriod(
     new DateTime('2010-10-01'),
     new DateInterval('P1D'),
     new DateTime('2010-10-05')
);

这将为您提供一个包含DateTime对象的数组。

迭代

foreach ($period as $key => $value) {
    //$value->format('Y-m-d')       
}

  function GetDays($sStartDate, $sEndDate){  
      // Firstly, format the provided dates.  
      // This function works best with YYYY-MM-DD  
      // but other date formats will work thanks  
      // to strtotime().  
      $sStartDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime($sStartDate));  
      $sEndDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime($sEndDate));  

      // Start the variable off with the start date  
     $aDays[] = $sStartDate;  

     // Set a 'temp' variable, sCurrentDate, with  
     // the start date - before beginning the loop  
     $sCurrentDate = $sStartDate;  

     // While the current date is less than the end date  
     while($sCurrentDate < $sEndDate){  
       // Add a day to the current date  
       $sCurrentDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($sCurrentDate)));  

       // Add this new day to the aDays array  
       $aDays[] = $sCurrentDate;  
     }  

     // Once the loop has finished, return the  
     // array of days.  
     return $aDays;  
   }  

使用像

GetDays('2007-01-01', '2007-01-31'); 

这很简短，而且应该在PHP4+中工作。

function getDatesFromRange($start, $end){
    $dates = array($start);
    while(end($dates) < $end){
        $dates[] = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(end($dates).' +1 day'));
    }
    return $dates;
}

简短的函数。PHP 5.3及更高版本。可以采用strtotime可以理解的任何日期格式的可选第三个参数。如果end < start自动反转方向。

function getDatesFromRange($start, $end, $format='Y-m-d') {
    return array_map(function($timestamp) use($format) {
        return date($format, $timestamp);
    },
    range(strtotime($start) + ($start < $end ? 4000 : 8000), strtotime($end) + ($start < $end ? 8000 : 4000), 86400));
}

测试:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-7-28','2016-8-2' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-8-2','2016-7-28' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-10-28','2016-11-2' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-11-2','2016-10-28' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-4-2','2016-3-25' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-3-25','2016-4-2' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-8-2','2016-7-25' ));
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2016-7-25','2016-8-2' ));

输出:

Array ( [0] => 2016-07-28 [1] => 2016-07-29 [2] => 2016-07-30 [3] => 2016-07-31 [4] => 2016-08-01 [5] => 2016-08-02 )

请注意，ViNce提供的答案不包括期间的结束日期。

如果你使用的是PHP 5.3+，你最好使用这样的函数:

/**
 * Generate an array of string dates between 2 dates
 *
 * @param string $start Start date
 * @param string $end End date
 * @param string $format Output format (Default: Y-m-d)
 *
 * @return array
 */
function getDatesFromRange($start, $end, $format = 'Y-m-d') {
    $array = array();
    $interval = new DateInterval('P1D');

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

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

    foreach($period as $date) { 
        $array[] = $date->format($format); 
    }

    return $array;
}

然后，你可以像预期的那样调用函数:

getDatesFromRange('2010-10-01', '2010-10-05');

运行演示

关于DatePeriod类的注意:您可以使用DatePeriod的第4个参数来排除开始日期(DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE)，但此时不能包括结束日期。

$arr = range(strtotime("2013-12-01"),strtotime("2013-12-31"), "86400");
array_walk_recursive($arr, function(&$element) { $element = date("Y-m-d", $element); });
print_r ($arr);
