Look into DatePeriod Class, this is available from PHP 5.3.

Here is an example from the site

$begin = new DateTime( '2012-08-01' );
$end = new DateTime( '2012-08-31' );
$end = $end->modify( '+1 day' );

$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);

foreach($daterange as $date){

       // You can manipulate the date here
    echo $date->format("Ymd") . "<br>";
}
