SYNOPSIS
public DatePeriod::__construct (DateTimeInterface $start, DateInterval $interval, int $recurrences, [int $options]) DESCRIPTION
DatePeriod::__construct (DateTimeInterface $start, DateInterval $interval, DateTimeInterface $end, [int $options]) DatePeriod::__con- struct (string $isostr, [int $options]) Creates a new DatePeriod object. PARAMETERS
o $start - The start date of the period. o $interval - The interval between recurrences within the period. o $recurrences - The number of recurrences. o $end - The end date of the period. o $isostr - An ISO 8601 repeating interval specification. o $options - Can be set to DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE to exclude the start date from the set of recurring dates within the period.

Example #1 DatePeriod example <?php $start = new DateTime('2012-07-01'); $interval = new DateInterval('P7D'); $end = new DateTime('2012-07-31'); $recurrences = 4; $iso = 'R4/2012-07-01T00:00:00Z/P7D'; // All of these periods are equivalent. $period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $recurrences); $period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end); $period = new DatePeriod($iso); // By iterating over the DatePeriod object, all of the // recurring dates within that period are printed. foreach ($period as $date) { echo $date->format('Y-m-d')." "; } ?> The above example will output: 2012-07-01 2012-07-08 2012-07-15 2012-07-22 2012-07-29 Example #2 DatePeriod example with DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE <?php $start = new DateTime('2012-07-01'); $interval = new DateInterval('P7D'); $end = new DateTime('2012-07-31'); $period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end, DatePeriod::EXCLUDE_START_DATE); // By iterating over the DatePeriod object, all of the // recurring dates within that period are printed. // Note that, in this case, 2012-07-01 is not printed. foreach ($period as $date) { echo $date->format('Y-m-d')." "; } ?> The above example will output: 2012-07-08 2012-07-15 2012-07-22 2012-07-29 PHP Documentation Group DATEPERIOD.__CONSTRUCT(3)
