getting next 6 days from current day? - php

Question

I try to store next 6 days from current day ,but I'm little stuck here how to store all next 6days in $weekOfdays .Is there any simple function to do that?
<?php
$weekOfdays = array();
$day = date('l');
$weekOfdays[] = $day;
$day = strtotime($day);
$next = strtotime("+6 day",$day);
$weekOfdays[] = date("l",$next);
var_dump($weekOfdays);
// output
// array (size=2)
// 0 => string 'Monday' (length=6)
// 1 => string 'Sunday' (length=6)
?>
I want to see array is like this
array (size=7)
0 => string 'Monday' (length=6)
1 => string 'Tuesday' (length=7)
2 => string 'Wednesday' (length=9)
3 => string 'Thursday' (length=8)
4 => string 'Friday' (length=6)
5 => string 'Saturday' (length=8)
6 => string 'Sunday' (length=6)

Answer 1

Here's one that doesn't directly rely on doing the math on your own:
$days = [];
$period = new DatePeriod(
new DateTime(), // Start date of the period
new DateInterval('P1D'), // Define the intervals as Periods of 1 Day
6 // Apply the interval 6 times on top of the starting date
);
foreach ($period as $day)
{
$days[] = $day->format('l');
}

Answer 2

There are many way some of sample are mentioned as below:
1) using strtotime function and temp $date variable in loop
$date = date('Y-m-d'); //today date
$weekOfdays = array();
for($i =1; $i <= 7; $i++){
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 day', strtotime($date)));
$weekOfdays[] = date('l : Y-m-d', strtotime($date));
}
print_r($weekOfdays);
2) using strtotime function and +$i days from current date
$date = date('Y-m-d'); //today date
$weekOfdays = array();
for($i =1; $i <= 7; $i++){
$weekOfdays[] = date('l : Y-m-d', strtotime("+$i day", strtotime($date)));
}
print_r($weekOfdays);
3) using DateTime class and modify method
$date = date('Y-m-d'); //today date
$weekOfdays = array();
$date = new DateTime($date);
for($i=1; $i <= 7; $i++){
$date->modify('+1 day');
$weekOfdays[] = $date->format('l : Y-m-d');
}
print_r($weekOfdays);
4) using DateTime class and DateInterval class
$date = date('Y-m-d'); //today date
$weekOfdays = array();
$date = new DateTime($date);
for($i=1; $i <= 7; $i++){
$date->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
$weekOfdays[] = $date->format('l : Y-m-d');
}
print_r($weekOfdays);
5) using DatePeriod, DateInterval and DateTime class
$date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 day')); //tomorrow date
$weekOfdays = array();
$begin = new DateTime($date);
$end = new DateTime($date);
$end = $end->add(new DateInterval('P7D'));
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);
foreach($daterange as $dt){
$weekOfdays[] = $dt->format('l : Y-m-d');
}
print_r($weekOfdays);
Today is Tuesday, 12 April so output of all code will be:
Array
(
[0] => Wednesday : 2016-04-13
[1] => Thursday : 2016-04-14
[2] => Friday : 2016-04-15
[3] => Saturday : 2016-04-16
[4] => Sunday : 2016-04-17
[5] => Monday : 2016-04-18
[6] => Tuesday : 2016-04-19
)
For more detail have a look at:
strtotime
DateTime
DateInterval
DatePeriod

Answer 3

I believe you need a for loop:
$weekOfdays = array();
$day = date('l');
$weekOfdays[] = $day;
$day = strtotime($day);
for($i = 1; $i <= 6; ++$i) {
$next = strtotime("+$i day",$day);
$weekOfdays[] = date("l",$next);
}

Answer 4

Just use a while loop to adjust day by day. Just add another day +1:
$weekOfdays = array();
$date = time();
$next = strtotime('+6 days');
while ($date <= $next) { // loop until next six
$weekOfdays[] = date('l', $date); // push the day name
$date = strtotime('+1 day', $date); // add +1 on $date
}
print_r($weekOfdays);

Answer 5

Using strtotime function and while-loop
$weekOfdays = array();
$current_date = time(); //get current date.
$next = strtotime('+6 days');
while ($current_date <= $next) {
$weekOfdays[] = date('l', $current_date);
$current_date = strtotime('+1 day', $current_date); // add next date
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($weekOfdays);
echo "</pre>";
Result :
Array
(
[0] => Friday
[1] => Saturday
[2] => Sunday
[3] => Monday
[4] => Tuesday
[5] => Wednesday
[6] => Thursday
)

Answer 6

here is simple modification in you code which will display total days
<?php
$weekOfdays = array();
$day = date('l');
$weekOfdays[] = $day;
$day = strtotime($day);
$total_days='5';//you can increase or decrease the day to display
for($i=1;$i<=$total_days;$i++){
$next = strtotime("+$i day",$day);
$weekOfdays[] = date("l",$next);
}
print_r($weekOfdays);
?>
And its out put
Array (
[0] => Monday
[1] => Tuesday
[2] => Wednesday
[3] => Thursday
[4] => Friday
[5] => Saturday )

Answer 7

$weekOfdays = array();
$date = date("l");// current day
for($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) {
$weekOfdays[] = date("l", strtotime($date . "+$i day"));
}
var_dump($weekOfdays);

Answer 8

Check the following.Here array gets 7 day name including the current day.
$weekOfdays = array();
for($i = 1,$nxtday = time(); $i<=7; $i++)
{
$weekOfdays[] = date("l", $nxtday);
$nxtday += 86400;
}
var_dump($weekOfdays);

Answer 9

<?php
$weekOfdays = array();
$currentDay = time();
for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) {
$weekOfdays[] = date('l', $currentDay);
$currentDay = strtotime('+1 day', $currentDay);
}
var_dump($weekOfdays);
will output (today's friday)
array (size=7)
0 => string 'Friday' (length=6)
1 => string 'Saturday' (length=8)
2 => string 'Sunday' (length=6)
3 => string 'Monday' (length=6)
4 => string 'Tuesday' (length=7)
5 => string 'Wednesday' (length=9)
6 => string 'Thursday' (length=8)

Answer 10

<?php
$weekOfDays = array();
$now = time();
$daysCnt = 6;
while ($daysCnt > 0) {
$now = mktime(0,0,0,date('m',$now),date('d',$now)+1,date('Y',$now));
$weekOfDays[] = date('l', $now);
$daysCnt--;
}
print_r($weekOfDays);
output:
Array
(
[0] => Saturday
[1] => Sunday
[2] => Monday
[3] => Tuesday
[4] => Wednesday
[5] => Thursday
)
the purpose of usage mktime() instead of strtotime() is a feature:
<?php
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Moscow");
$today = date("d-m-Y",mktime(0,0,0,4,28,2013)); // 28-04-2013, sunday
$lastWeek = strtotime("last week $today");
$thisWeek = strtotime("this week $today");
$nextWeek = strtotime("next week $today");
echo "last week - ".$lastWeek." / ".date("d-m-Y H:i\n",$lastWeek);
echo "this week - ".$thisWeek." / ".date("d-m-Y H:i\n",$thisWeek);
echo "next week - ".$nextWeek." / ".date("d-m-Y H:i\n",$nextWeek);
result:
last week - 1366574400 / 22-04-2013 00:00; expected 15-04-2013
this week - 1367179200 / 29-04-2013 00:00; expected 22-04-2013
next week - 1367784000 / 06-05-2013 00:00; expected 29-04-2013
I recommend double-check expected results when you use strtotime()
