Date for Next 30 Days Loop 1

[Tama]

I know this should be straight forward but coding dates always mess with my head.

All I want to do is have a loop which cycles through today and the next 30 days, generating $Day(2 digits), $Month(2 digits) and $Year(4 digits) for each cycle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

<?php
$x = 0 ;
$today = date("m")."/".date("d")."/".date("Y") ;
for ( $year = date("Y");$year < date("Y") + 1; $year++ ) {
	for ( $month = date("m");$month < date("m") + 2;$month++ ) {
		for ( $day = date("d");$day <= date("d")+31;$day++ ) {			
					
			if ( $x == 30 ) exit() ;
			$day  = $day++  ;
			if ( $day > 31 ) {// change this condition depending on the no of days of the current month				
				$day = 1 ; 
				$month++ ;
			}
			$date = $month."/".$day."/".$year ;
			echo $date."<br>" ;
			$x++ ;
			 
		}
	}
}

?>

tested, modified slightly to correct the calculated figured which because they aren't from date() are only single digit.

<?php
$x = 0 ;
//$today = date("m")."/".date("d")."/".date("Y") ;
for ( $year = date("Y");$year < date("Y") + 1; $year++ ) {
    for ( $month = date("m");$month < date("m") + 2;$month++ ) {
        for ( $day = date("d");$day <= date("d")+31;$day++ ) {            
                    
            if ( $x == 30 ) exit() ;
            $day  = $day++  ;
            if ( $day > 31 ) {// change this condition depending on the no of days of the current month                
                $day = 1 ; 
                $month++ ;
            }
            // modded in str_pad because you stop using date() and start calculating figures
            $date = str_pad($month,2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT)."/".str_pad($day,2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT)."/".$year ;
            echo $date."<br>" ;
            $x++ ;
             
        }
    }
}

?>

if ( $day > 31 ) {// change this condition depending on the no of days of the current month

or instead of having 12 different files for each month you could use the t argument of the date() function to get the number of days in that month.

And yes, you will alos have to take care for the december month, when after that the year is changning

Much shorter, no need to think about leap years, number of days in a month:

# get current UNIX timestamp
$now = time();
echo(date('m/d/Y',$now).'<br>');
# add multiples of days 60seconds * 60minutes * 24hours * number of days
# just is trouble when the script runs over midnight
for($i=1; $i<=30; $i++) {
	echo(date('m/d/Y',$now+(60*60*24*$i)).'<br>');
}

Thank you everyone - my e-mail seems to have jammed for a while so I only just got the alerts to your replies.

I had started working on my own loop last night which was similar to DRJ478's solution but quite a bit uglier. I took the current time() and added 86,400 to it for every loop. It seemed to work but I'll use DRJ478's method as is has a smaller code footprint.

My original attempts started to look like far messier/ more complex versions of spookies code - I was tying myself in knots with the number of days in every month.

Thanks again - hopefully I can get the whole script fully functional tonight.
