Put something like this into a function:

$start = strtotime('2014-01');
$end = strtotime('2014-12');
$range = array(date('Y-m', $start) => date('Y-m', $start));
while ( $start <= strtotime('-1 month', $end) ) {
    $start = strtotime('+1 month', $start);
    $yearMonth = date('Y-m', $start);
    $range[$yearMonth] = $yearMonth;
}
var_dump($range);
