这里有一种使用Carbon https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon:的方法

public function buildDateRangeArray($first, $last)
{
    while ($first <= $last) {
        $dates[] = $first->toDateString();

        $first->addDay();
    }

    return $dates;
}

当然，这可以被调整为不使用碳。传递给函数的$first和$last参数是Carbon实例。

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。

下面是一个函数，它将从两个方向返回日期范围，适用于PHP >=5.2.2:

function createRange($start, $end, $format = 'Y-m-d') {
    $start  = new DateTime($start);
    $end    = new DateTime($end);
    $invert = $start > $end;

    $dates = array();
    $dates[] = $start->format($format);
    while ($start != $end) {
        $start->modify(($invert ? '-' : '+') . '1 day');
        $dates[] = $start->format($format);
    }
    return $dates;
}

使用的例子:

print_r(createRange('2010-10-01', '2010-10-05'));
/*Array
(
    [0] => 2010-10-01
    [1] => 2010-10-02
    [2] => 2010-10-03
    [3] => 2010-10-04
    [4] => 2010-10-05
)*/

print_r(createRange('2010-10-05', '2010-10-01', 'j M Y'));
/*Array
(
    [0] => 5 Oct 2010
    [1] => 4 Oct 2010
    [2] => 3 Oct 2010
    [3] => 2 Oct 2010
    [4] => 1 Oct 2010
)*/

demo

  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'); 

$report_starting_date=date('2014-09-16');
$report_ending_date=date('2014-09-26');
$report_starting_date1=date('Y-m-d',strtotime($report_starting_date.'-1 day'));
while (strtotime($report_starting_date1)<strtotime($report_ending_date))
{

    $report_starting_date1=date('Y-m-d',strtotime($report_starting_date1.'+1 day'));
    $dates[]=$report_starting_date1;
  } 
  print_r($dates);

 // dates    ('2014-09-16', '2014-09-26')


 //print result    Array
