这是非常灵活的。

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' )       

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')       
}

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
)*/
