Hi yo,

Yes you can do it many ways, but my example try to show method which works nicely even if you change +1 day to +4 days, 1 week, 1 month, 2 years, etc.

Most powerful way to do this is minimize strtotime and date functions usage. So your example is good, but following is even more efficient:

$start = strtotime('2011-11-01');
$end = strtotime('2011-11-28');
for ( $i = $start; $i <= $end; $i += 86400 ){
 
	// do stuff here
	echo date('Y-m-d');
 
}

for ($i = strtotime('2011-11-01');$i <= strtotime('2011-11-28');$i += 86400){

	// do stuff here
	echo date('Y-m-d');

}
