GET DATE ARRAY

[miguelna]

Somebody knows some form to obtain an Array with all dates in the MM-YY format (Example: MAR-02) between two dates, for example between MAR-99 and JUL-04?

There's no PHP function for it as far as I am aware, you'll have to make your own. It should be simple enough though. Use a start and end date as parameters, then create a while loop that'l increment the month until it reaches the end date!

The problem is increment the month and the year. I want an array like this

JAN-01, FEB-01,…., DEC-01, JAN-02,…., DEZ-02, JAN-03

That's simple. I won't write the function out for you, but I'll give you the gist of what you need to do!

Now, you know every month has a 1st, so you don't need to use that every time. What you need to do is get the start date (2002-01-01) and increment each month (2002-02-01, etc) until it hits 12! Then you need to start from 1 again, and increment the year! It's simple enough, you should be able to make that!

Once you've got the date in a YYYY-MM-DD format, you can use the date function to display it as whatever you like!
