如何使用分割因子生成指定的开始日期和结束日期之间的日期？

Question

I have 2 php variables having dates as

$start_date = '01-12-2013';
$end_date = '01-12-2014';

And then I have a division factor as

$div_factor = 6;

And now what I want to do is generate 6 Dates (as defined in divison_factor) all with same number of days between each date.

I am going to use this to generate Installment dates for the specific period loans.

Answer 1

$start_date = strtotime("2013-12-01");
$end_date = strtotime("2014-12-01");
$datediff = $end_date - $start_date;
$number_of_days_between = floor($datediff/(60*60*24));

After that, just divise your $number of days by $div_factor, take your start_date, add the result and you have your first period ;)
