All Dates of a Year Into an Array with PHP

All Dates of a Year Into an Array with PHP

On one of our aviation websites , we use a version of our Hiztory WP plugin to render a large amount of aviation history relevant to each day of the year (it's actually an enhanced version of the plugin that we're testing). As part of the process we had the need to generate a list of all the days in the year (in a loop) so as to create a readable text sitemap and, more importantly, an XML sitemap suitable for the likes of Google.

The following PHP function will load all the days of a defined year into an array.

1
<?php 
2
/*
3
 All Dates of a Year Into an Array with PHP
4
 http://www.beliefmedia.com/php-year-array
5
*/
6
 
7
function beliefmedia_year_array($year) {
8
 
9
  $range = array();
10
  $start = strtotime($year.'-01-01');
11
  $end = strtotime($year.'-12-31');
12
 
13
  do {
14
   $range[] = date('Y-m-d',$start);
15
   $start = strtotime(&quot;+ 1 day&quot;,$start);
16
  } while ( $start <= $end );
17
 
18
 return $range;
19
}

To render the array on your page, you should use the following:

1
/* Wrap in pre tags */
2
echo print_r(beliefmedia_year_array(2017));

Of course, if you chose to loop through the array and print the result directly to the page, you could use something similar to the following. In this example, I'm printing a formatted date (the code is to be used in the function above).

1
<?php 
2
foreach ($range AS $ranges) {
3
  $linkdate = strtolower(date('F-d',$start));
4
 echo $linkdate . '<br>';
5
}

I used a similar function to create the XML sitemap linked to below.
