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。

这很简短，而且应该在PHP4+中工作。

function getDatesFromRange($start, $end){
    $dates = array($start);
    while(end($dates) < $end){
        $dates[] = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(end($dates).' +1 day'));
    }
    return $dates;
}

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();

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 )

  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'); 

function createDateRangeArray($start, $end) {
// Modified by JJ Geewax

$range = array();

if (is_string($start) === true) $start = strtotime($start);
if (is_string($end) === true ) $end = strtotime($end);

if ($start > $end) return createDateRangeArray($end, $start);

do {
$range[] = date('Y-m-d', $start);
$start = strtotime("+ 1 day", $start);
}
while($start < $end);

return $range;
}
