Finding days between 2 unix timestamps in php

Question

Hay, i have a database holding events. There are 2 fields \'start\' and \'end\', these contain timestamps. When an admin enters these dates, they only have the ability to se

Answer 1

You just have to calculate the number of seconds between the two dates, then divide to get days :

$numDays = abs($smallestTimestamp - $biggestTimestamp)/60/60/24;

Then, you can use a for loop to retrieve the dates :

$numDays = abs($smallestTimestamp - $biggestTimestamp)/60/60/24;

for ($i = 1; $i < $numDays; $i++) {
    echo date('Y m d', strtotime("+{$i} day", $smallestTimestamp)) . '
';
}

Again, if you don't know which timestamp is the smallest, you can use the min() function (second argument in strtotime).
