<?
print_r(getDatesFromRange( '2010-10-01', '2010-10-05' ));

function getDatesFromRange($startDate, $endDate)
{
    $return = array($startDate);
    $start = $startDate;
    $i=1;
    if (strtotime($startDate) < strtotime($endDate))
    {
       while (strtotime($start) < strtotime($endDate))
        {
            $start = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($startDate.'+'.$i.' days'));
            $return[] = $start;
            $i++;
        }
    }

    return $return;
}

简单却有魅力:

    $period = new DatePeriod(new DateTime('2015-01-01'), new DateInterval('P1D'), new DateTime('2015-01-15 +1 day'));
    foreach ($period as $date) {
        $dates[] = $date->format("Y-m-d");
    }

    //ONLY SHOWING
    echo '<pre>';
    var_dump($dates);
    echo '</pre>';
    exit();

使用DateTime对象的PHP 5.2解决方案。但是startDate必须在endDate之前。

function createRange($startDate, $endDate) {
    $tmpDate = new DateTime($startDate);
    $tmpEndDate = new DateTime($endDate);

    $outArray = array();
    do {
        $outArray[] = $tmpDate->format('Y-m-d');
    } while ($tmpDate->modify('+1 day') <= $tmpEndDate);

    return $outArray;
}

使用:

$dates = createRange('2010-10-01', '2010-10-05');

$日期包含:

Array( '2010-10-01', '2010-10-02', '2010-10-03', '2010-10-04', '2010-10-05' )       

function getWeekdayDatesFrom($format, $start_date_epoch, $end_date_epoch, $range) {

    $dates_arr = array();

    if( ! $range) {
        $range = round(abs($start_date_epoch-$end_date_epoch)/86400) + 1;
    } else {
        $range = $range + 1; //end date inclusive
    }

    $current_date_epoch = $start_date_epoch;

    for($i = 1; $i <= $range; $i+1) {

        $d = date('N',  $current_date_epoch);

        if($d <= 5) { // not sat or sun
            $dates_arr[] = "'".date($format, $current_date_epoch)."'";
        }

        $next_day_epoch = strtotime('+'.$i.'day', $start_date_epoch);
        $i++;
        $current_date_epoch = $next_day_epoch;

    }

    return $dates_arr;
} 

function datesbetween ($date1,$date2)
{
    $dates= array();
    for ($i = $date1
       ; $i<= $date1
       ; $i=date_add($i, date_interval_create_from_date_string('1 days')) ) 
    {            
       $dates[] = clone $i;
    }
    return $dates;
}

这是非常灵活的。
