Echo date range on different version of php - php

Question

$listData2 = [];
$start = new DateTime('2017-01-01');
$end = (new DateTime('2017-01-12'))->modify('+1 day');
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end);
foreach ($period as $index => $period1)
{ echo $listData2[] = $period1->format("d/m/Y"); }
Hi, I found the below code to output my dates from 01/01/2017 until 12/01/2017 and it's working fine. I used the code above on PHP 5.5 However, when I copy this code to a different computer using PHP 5.3, there's lot of error. How do I change the above code so that it's compatible with PHP 5.3

Answer 1

You can fix this by not using [] for arrays and initializing your date object and then manipulating it. Will work down to 5.3.0 - Example
<?php
$listData2 = array();
$start = new DateTime('2017-01-01');
$end = new DateTime('2017-01-12');
$end = $end->modify('+1 day');
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end);
foreach ($period as $index => $period1) {
echo $listData2[] = $period1->format("d/m/Y");
}

I tested your code in http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com.
This (new DateTime('2017-01-12'))->modify('+1 day'); causing
syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR
Solution
Just move modify('+1 day').
<?php
$listData2 = array();
$start = new DateTime('2017-01-01');
$end = new DateTime('2017-01-12');
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end->modify('+1 day'));
foreach ($period as $index => $period1)
{ echo $listData2[] = $period1->format("d/m/Y") . "<br/>"; }
Just test it here if you want: http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/32f0fed1fb0c89c7bd3dff0ed21f9178ecca
