you can try this

function makeDateRange($from,$to,$pattern='m-d-y')
{
    $day = date( $pattern , $from );
    $to = date( $pattern , $to );
    $parseDate = date_parse($from);
    while( $day <= $to ) {
        $day = mktime(0,0,0,$parseDate["month"],$parseDate["day"]+1,$parseDate["year"]);
        $dateArray[] = date($pattern , $day);
        }
    return $dateArray;
}


// here make array
$keys = makeDateRange("12-01-11","12-02-11");

//here make above array as key in $a array
$a = array_fill_keys($keys, 'none');
print_r($a);
