Looping through all the days in the current month with PHP.
This loop will start at the first day of the current month with each loop adding 1 day, the loop will continue until the current month is no longer less than or equal to the last looped day/date.
<?php
$date = date('F Y');//Current Month Year
while (strtotime($date) <= strtotime(date('Y-m') . '-' . date('t', strtotime($date)))) {
$date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));//Adds 1 day onto current date
}Now to add in some formatted DateTime values:
$day_num = date('j', strtotime($date));//Day number
$day_name = date('l', strtotime($date));//Day name
$day_abrev = date('S', strtotime($date));//th, nd, st and rd
$day = "$day_name $day_num$day_abrev";The full script:
<?php
$date = date('F Y');//Current Month Year
while (strtotime($date) <= strtotime(date('Y-m') . '-' . date('t', strtotime($date)))) {
$day_num = date('j', strtotime($date));//Day number
$day_name = date('l', strtotime($date));//Day name
$day_abrev = date('S', strtotime($date));//th, nd, st and rd
$day = "$day_name $day_num $day_abrev";
$date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));//Adds 1 day onto current date
echo $day . '<br>';
}This will output (As for October 2020):
Thursday 1st Friday 2nd Saturday 3rd Sunday 4th Monday 5th Tuesday 6th Wednesday 7th Thursday 8th ...
