// will return dates array
function returnBetweenDates( $startDate, $endDate ){
    $startStamp = strtotime(  $startDate );
    $endStamp   = strtotime(  $endDate );

    if( $endStamp > $startStamp ){
        while( $endStamp >= $startStamp ){

            $dateArr[] = date( 'Y-m-d', $startStamp );

            $startStamp = strtotime( ' +1 day ', $startStamp );

        }
        return $dateArr;    
    }else{
        return $startDate;
    }

}

returnBetweenDates( '2014-09-16', '2014-09-26' );

// print_r( returnBetweenDates( '2014-09-16', '2014-09-26' ) );

它将返回如下所示的数组:

Array
(
    [0] => 2014-09-16
    [1] => 2014-09-17
    [2] => 2014-09-18
    [3] => 2014-09-19
    [4] => 2014-09-20
    [5] => 2014-09-21
    [6] => 2014-09-22
    [7] => 2014-09-23
    [8] => 2014-09-24
    [9] => 2014-09-25
    [10] => 2014-09-26
)

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

<?
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 )

Array ( [0] => 2016-10-28 [1] => 2016-10-29 [2] => 2016-10-30 [3] => 2016-10-31 [4] => 2016-11-01 [5] => 2016-11-02 ) 
Array ( [0] => 2016-11-02 [1] => 2016-11-01 [2] => 2016-10-31 [3] => 2016-10-30 [4] => 2016-10-29 [5] => 2016-10-28 ) 
Array ( [0] => 2016-04-02 [1] => 2016-04-01 [2] => 2016-03-31 [3] => 2016-03-30 [4] => 2016-03-29 [5] => 2016-03-28 [6] => 2016-03-27 [7] => 2016-03-26 [8] => 2016-03-25 ) 
Array ( [0] => 2016-03-25 [1] => 2016-03-26 [2] => 2016-03-27 [3] => 2016-03-28 [4] => 2016-03-29 [5] => 2016-03-30 [6] => 2016-03-31 [7] => 2016-04-01 [8] => 2016-04-02 ) 
Array ( [0] => 2016-08-02 [1] => 2016-08-01 [2] => 2016-07-31 [3] => 2016-07-30 [4] => 2016-07-29 [5] => 2016-07-28 [6] => 2016-07-27 [7] => 2016-07-26 [8] => 2016-07-25 ) 
Array ( [0] => 2016-07-25 [1] => 2016-07-26 [2] => 2016-07-27 [3] => 2016-07-28 [4] => 2016-07-29 [5] => 2016-07-30 [6] => 2016-07-31 [7] => 2016-08-01 [8] => 2016-08-02 )

public static function countDays($date1,$date2)
{
    $date1 = strtotime($date1); // or your date as well
    $date2 = strtotime($date2);
    $datediff = $date1 - $date2;
    return floor($datediff/(60*60*24));
}

public static function dateRange($date1,$date2)
{
    $count = static::countDays($date1,$date2) + 1;
    $dates = array();
    for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
    {
        $dates[] = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($date2.'+'.$i.' days'));
    }
    return $dates;
}

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。
