Loop through all days in month with PHP

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
...
