I'm new in php.
I want to ask how to make increment loop date every x minus or x hours and repeat until x times.
Example :
and output will be :
My former code form other question in stackoverflow :
<?php
$startdate=strtotime("next Tuesday");
$enddate=strtotime("+1 weeks",$startdate); //16 weeks from the starting date
$currentdate=$startdate;
echo "<ol>";
while ($currentdate < $enddate): //loop through the dates
echo "<li>",date('Y-m-d', $currentdate),"T";
echo date('H:i:s', $currentdate);
echo "</li>";
$currentdate = strtotime("+30 minutes", $currentdate); //increment the current date
endwhile; // calculate date range
echo "<ol>";?>
On that code the loop stop until desire date. My problem is how to make increment in time until desire times..., for example 5 , 10, 10, 500 times loop? How to code that?
PHP's DateTime
feature has the perfect option to do what you want:
// Set begin date
$begin = new DateTime('2016-03-17 23:00:00');
// Set end date
$end = new DateTime('2016-03-18 23:00:00');
// Set interval
$interval = new DateInterval('PT30M');
// Create daterange
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);
// Loop through range
foreach($daterange as $date){
// Output date and time
echo $date->format("Y-m-dTH:i:s") . "<br>";
}
Just use for-loop for this task:
<?php
$desiredtimes = 500; // desired times
$startdate=strtotime("next Tuesday");
$currentdate=$startdate;
echo "<ol>";
for ($i = 0; $i < $desiredtimes; $i++){ //loop desired times
echo "<li>",date('Y-m-d', $currentdate),"T";
echo date('H:i:s', $currentdate);
echo "</li>";
$currentdate = strtotime("+30 minutes", $currentdate); //increment the current date
} // calculate date range
echo "<ol>";?>
