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。

这是另一个解决方案。请核对一下。

$first = '10/30/2017'; //starting date
$last= '10/11/2017';   //ending date
$first_time_arr=explode('/',$first); 
$last_time_arr=explode('/',$last);
//create timestamp of starting date
$start_timestamp=mktime(0,0,0, $first_time_arr[0], $first_time_arr[1],$first_time_arr[2]);
//create timestamp of ending date
$end_timestamp=mktime(0,0,0, $last_time_arr[0], $last_time_arr[1],$last_time_arr[2]);
$date_arr=array();
for($i=$start_timestamp;$i<=$end_timestamp;$i=$i+86400){
    $date_arr[]=date("Y-m-d",$i); //this will save all dates in array
}

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;
}

function createDateRangeArray($strDateFrom,$strDateTo)
{
    // takes two dates formatted as YYYY-MM-DD and creates an
    // inclusive array of the dates between the from and to dates.

    // could test validity of dates here but I'm already doing
    // that in the main script

    $aryRange = [];

    $iDateFrom = mktime(1, 0, 0, substr($strDateFrom, 5, 2), substr($strDateFrom, 8, 2), substr($strDateFrom, 0, 4));
    $iDateTo = mktime(1, 0, 0, substr($strDateTo, 5, 2), substr($strDateTo, 8, 2), substr($strDateTo, 0, 4));

    if ($iDateTo >= $iDateFrom) {
        array_push($aryRange, date('Y-m-d', $iDateFrom)); // first entry
        while ($iDateFrom<$iDateTo) {
            $iDateFrom += 86400; // add 24 hours
            array_push($aryRange, date('Y-m-d', $iDateFrom));
        }
    }
    return $aryRange;
}

这是非常灵活的。
