How to get all months between two dates in PHP? - php

Question

I have 2 dates. I want to get all months with total days in each.
How can I do this in PHP?
For example
$date1 = '2013-11-13'; // yy-mm-dd format
$date2 = '2014-02-14';
Output
Months Total Days
-----------------------
11-2013 30
12-2013 31
01-2014 31
02-2014 28

Answer 1

Just try with:
$date1 = '2013-11-15';
$date2 = '2014-02-15';
$output = [];
$time = strtotime($date1);
$last = date('m-Y', strtotime($date2));
do {
$month = date('m-Y', $time);
$total = date('t', $time);
$output[] = [
'month' => $month,
'total' => $total,
];
$time = strtotime('+1 month', $time);
} while ($month != $last);
var_dump($output);
Output:
array (size=4)
0 =>
array (size=2)
'month' => string '11-2013' (length=7)
'total' => string '30' (length=2)
1 =>
array (size=2)
'month' => string '12-2013' (length=7)
'total' => string '31' (length=2)
2 =>
array (size=2)
'month' => string '01-2014' (length=7)
'total' => string '31' (length=2)
3 =>
array (size=2)
'month' => string '02-2014' (length=7)
'total' => string '28' (length=2)

Try the below given code :
$date1 = '2013-11-15'; // yy-mm-dd format
$date2 = '2014-02-15';
$start = new DateTime($date1);
$start->modify('first day of this month');
$end = new DateTime($date2);
$end->modify('first day of next month');
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 month');
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end);
foreach ($period as $dt) {
echo $dt->format("Y-m") ." " ;
echo cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN,$dt->format("m"),$dt->format("Y")) . "<br/>";
}

i used timestamp and date:
$date1 = '2013-11-15'; // yy-mm-dd format
$date2 = '2014-02-15';
$d1 = strtotime('2013-11-15');
$d2 = strtotime('2014-02-15');
while ($d1 <= $d2) {
echo date('m-d-Y', $d1)." | ";
echo cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, date('m', $d1), date('Y', $d1)) ."<br>";
$d1 = strtotime("+1 month", $d1);
}

Answer 4

This should help you, Check out,
$date1 = new DateTime('2013-11-15');
$date1->modify('first day of this month');
$date2 = new DateTime('2014-02-15');
$date2->modify('first day of next month');
$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 month');
$value = new DatePeriod($date1, $interval, $date2);
foreach ($value as $dates) {
echo $dates->format("m- Y")."-->".cal_days_in_month(0,$dates->format("m"),$dates->format("Y"))."<br>\n";
}

Answer 5

This is what i came up with:
$arr_months = array();
$date1 = new DateTime('2013-11-15');
$date2 = new DateTime('2014-02-15');
$month1 = new DateTime($date1->format('Y-m')); //The first day of the month of date 1
while ($month1 < $date2) { //Check if the first day of the next month is still before date 2
$arr_months[$month1->format('Y-m')] = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month1->format('m'), $month1->format('Y')); //Add it to the array
$month1->modify('+1 month'); //Add one month and repeat
}
print_r($arr_months);
It creates an associative array with the month as key and the number of days as value.
The array created from the example would be:
Array
(
[2013-11] => 30
[2013-12] => 31
[2014-01] => 31
[2014-02] => 28
)
With a foreach loop you will be able to scroll trough the array easily.

Answer 6

You can use the DateTime class along with cal_day_in_month() like this
$datetime1 = "2014-02-15";
$datetime2= "2013-03-15";
$date1 = new DateTime($datetime1);
$date2 = new DateTime($datetime2);
while (date_format($date2, 'Y-m') <= date_format($date1, 'Y-m'))
{
$date2 = $date2->add(new DateInterval('P1M'));
echo $date2->format('Y-m')." | ".cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $date2->format('m'), $date2->format('Y'))."<br>";
}
