从两个日期时间变量创建开始和结束日期时间的数组

Question

I have a start and end DateTime object and want to iterate over them to get an array of start and end per day. To iterate over it I wrote this function:

public function getDatesBetweenTwoDates($start = null, $end = null)
{
    return iterator_to_array(new \DatePeriod($start, new \DateInterval('P1D'), $end));
}

However, this function returns an array like this and does not support times:

['2017-10-01', '2017-10-02', ...]

What I need is something like this:

Input:

$start = new DateTime("2017-10-01 10:00:00");
$end = new DateTime("2017-10-03 19:00:00");

Output:

[
    [
        'start' => '2017-10-01 10:00:00',
        'end' => '2017-10-01 23:59:59'
    ],
    [
        'start' => '2017-10-02 00:00:00',
        'end' => '2017-10-02 23:59:59'
    ],
    [
        'start' => '2017-10-03 00:00:00',
        'end' => '2017-10-03 19:00:00'
    ],
]

Any hint or help would be highly appreciated.

I see that you will need to iterate over your array and re-create the array of dates with the new format

$start = new DateTime("2017-10-01 10:00:00");
$end = new DateTime("2017-10-03 19:00:00");

$datesArray = iterator_to_array(new \DatePeriod($start, new \DateInterval('P1D'), $end));

array_walk($datesArray, function ($value, $key) use (&$dates, $start, $end) {

    $dates[$key]['start'] = (
        ($key == 0) ? $value->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') : $value->setTime(00, 0, 00)->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')
    );

    $endDate = $value->setTime(23, 59, 59);

    if ($endDate->getTimestamp() > $end->getTimestamp()) {
        $endDate = $end;
    }

    $dates[$key]['end'] = $endDate->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');


});
print_r($dates);

this will output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [start] => 2017-10-01 10:00:00
            [end] => 2017-10-01 23:59:59
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [start] => 2017-10-02 00:00:00
            [end] => 2017-10-02 23:59:59
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [start] => 2017-10-03 00:00:00
            [end] => 2017-10-03 19:00:00
        )

Note : as you can see at 3v4l that you will get different/wrong output if you will use HHVM.
