Answer 1

I think you are looking for something like this:
$start = new DateTime('2014-01-01');
$end = new DateTime('2014-05-15');
$tmpStart = $start;
while ( $tmpStart <= $end ) {
$tmpEnd = clone $tmpStart;
$tmpEnd = $tmpEnd->modify('last day of this month');
$tmpEnd = $tmpEnd < $end ? $tmpEnd : clone $end;
echo $tmpStart->format("M") . " " . ($tmpEnd->diff($tmpStart)->format("%a")+1) . "\n";
$tmpStart = $tmpEnd->modify('first day of next month');
}
This outputs:
Jan 31
Feb 28
Mar 31
Apr 30
May 15

Answer 2

get the number of days in month from cal_days_in_month() function and use date_diff() to compare between those

Answer 3

If I understand correctly, you want to find the difference in days between two dates?
<?php
$startDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1970); //Enter your start date and time
$endDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, 5, 20, 2014); //Enter your end date and time
echo ($endDate-$startDate)/60/60/24; //This works out the number of days between the two
?>
Outputs:
16210
Look at the mktime() documentation to understand how to input your date into the mktime() function.
