While searching a result of Loop Through Dates, here are some looping scenarios given below.

Let us see at first for ‘foreach‘ loop after that ‘while‘.

foreach Loop

&lt;?php
$begin = new DateTime( '2018-09-30' );
$end   = new DateTime( '2018-10-05' );
$end   = $end-&gt;modify( '+1 day' );

$interval  = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);

foreach($daterange as $date){
 echo $date-&gt;format("Y-m-d") . "&lt;br&gt;";
}
?&gt;

<?php

$begin = new DateTime( '2018-09-30' );

$end = new DateTime( '2018-10-05' );

$end = $end->modify( '+1 day' );

$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');

$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);

foreach($daterange as $date){

echo $date->format("Y-m-d") . "<br>";

}

It will give you all the dates from 2018-09-30 to 2018-10-05.

foreach Loop with little bit difference

&lt;?php
$begin = new DateTime('2018-09-30');
$end   = new DateTime('2018-10-05');

$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');
$period   = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval, $end);

foreach ($period as $dt) {
 echo $dt-&gt;format("l Y-m-d H:i:sn"). "&lt;br&gt;";
}
?&gt;

<?php

$begin = new DateTime('2018-09-30');

$end = new DateTime('2018-10-05');

$interval = DateInterval::createFromDateString('1 day');

$period = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval, $end);

foreach ($period as $dt) {

echo $dt->format("l Y-m-d H:i:sn"). "<br>";

}

It will give you all the dates from 2018-09-30 to 2018-10-04 means 1 day less than End Date.

while Loop

&lt;?php
// Set timezone
 date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

// Start date
 $date = '2018-09-30';
 // End date
 $end_date = '2018-10-05';

while (strtotime($date) &lt;= strtotime($end_date)) {
 echo $date ."&lt;br&gt;";
 $date = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));
 }
?&gt;

<?php

// Set timezone

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

// Start date

$date = '2018-09-30';

// End date

$end_date = '2018-10-05';

while (strtotime($date) <= strtotime($end_date)) {

echo $date ."<br>";

$date = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));

}

It will also give you all the dates from 2018-09-30 to 2018-10-05.

Hence Loop Through dates is achieved successfully.
