note 38372 added to function.date

I most recently had to write a function which will calculate all dates between a given start and end-date (vacation-days management). Just in case someone of you ought to do the same I thought I'd share the small piece of code. Beware, the returned array will contain the actual start and end-dates as well. Here goes: <?php function calculateVacationDays() { $date_from = '24.12.2003'; $date_to = '06.01.2004'; $date_from_parts = explode('.', $date_from); $date_to_parts = explode('.', $date_to); // Calculating the UNIX Timestamp for both dates $ts_from = mktime(0, 0, 0, $date_from_parts[1], $date_from_parts[0], $date_from_parts[2]); $ts_to = mktime(0, 0, 0, $date_to_parts[1], $date_to_parts[0], $date_to_parts[2]); // 86400 = seconds per day for ($x = $ts_from; $x <= $ts_to; $x += 86400) { $vacation_days[] = date('d.m.Y', $x); } return $vacation_days; } ?> If anyone knows a better/speedier/more elegant/whatever way to do this you're most welcome to let me/us know :) Take care - Daerion ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38372 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38372&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38372&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
