Error in adding to 2d array or looping through 2d array

Question

I have a problem in this code:

while ($end <= $to){
        $currentDates = array("from" => $start, "to"=>$end);
        $allDates[] = $currentDates;
        echo 'from: ', $currentDates["from"]->format("m-d-y"),'<br>';
        unset($currentDates);
        $start->add($intervalObj);
        $end->add($intervalObj);
    }

var_dump($allDates);

the echo in the loop shows the correct values but vardump shows the last dates to be added to the array in all the positions of the array

Answer 1

I don't think you need 2 loops for that ....

The error is from your loop

while ($end <= $to){
                ^-------  This was never used

Also See

$currentDates = array("from" => $start, "to"=>$end);
         Not in the Condition  --^              ^---- To means something else 

You while can be as simple as

$start = new DateTime("2012-4-12");
$end = new DateTime("2012-12-12");
$dv = new DateInterval('P24D'); // Every 24 days

echo "<pre>";
while ( $start <= $end ) {
    echo "From ", $start->format('Y-m-d');
    $start->add($dv);
    echo " To ", $start->format('Y-m-d'), PHP_EOL;
}

Output

From 2012-04-12 To 2012-05-06
From 2012-05-06 To 2012-05-30
From 2012-05-30 To 2012-06-23

From 2012-09-27 To 2012-10-21
From 2012-10-21 To 2012-11-14
From 2012-11-14 To 2012-12-08
From 2012-12-08 To 2013-01-01
