How to produce list of months between two dates?

Dear friends,
I need to produce list of months between two dates. It was not so hard by adding "+1 month" technology.
But the problem is that some months have 30 days and some 31 days. And February have 28 or 29 days.
So I am requesting for help from you. See the image for output. You just need output like table 1. Other tables only for show you example.
Note that in output I shows the count duration for more than 1 yeas (that goes year 2012) just for showing you February month.

The following 3 value will come from user input.

$countType = "monthly"; // It can be (monthly, quarterly)
$annualEndDate = "12/31/2010"; // It can be (10/10/2010, 09/28/2011 etc.)
$countStartDate = "05/31/2011"; // It can be (10/12/2010, 01/01/2011 etc.)

(As annualEndDate is "12/31/2010" so the new annualStartDate will be "01/01/2011" (next day). you have to determine it. And the calculation will be for one year based on new annualStartDate)

OUTPUT
May 31, 2011
June 30, 2011
July 31, 2011
August 31, 2011
September 30, 2011
October 31, 2011
November 30, 2011
December 31, 2011

See this image and ignore attachment image that showing at the bottom.

Thanks

 

The last day of any month is

function lastday($month, $year) {
    $result = strtotime("{$year}-{$month}-01");
    $result = strtotime('-1 second', strtotime('+1 month', $result));
    return date('Y-m-d', $result);
 }

PHP:

As you say, the rest is just the "+ 1 month" technoliogy. You could just loop within the function - give it the start and end dates and pull the date of the end of month for each month.

 

Dear Rukbat,

Thank you for your help. Would you please write the code for following message-
"As you say, the rest is just the "+ 1 month" technoliogy. You could just loop within the function - give it the start and end dates and pull the date of the end of month for each month. "




$yearStart = "07/01/2011"
$countStart = "11/28/2011";
$countEnd = "04/15/2012";

This type of 1 month difference between two dates ($countStart & $countEnd) is very easy with "+1 month" function.

November 28, 2011
December 28, 2011
January 28, 20112
February 28, 2012
March 28, 2012


But I cannot do this type of difference if $countStart= "11/30/2011" or "11/31/2011"

November 30, 2011
December 31, 2011
January 31, 20112
February 29 , 2012 // As leap year. otherwise February 28, 2012
March 31, 2012
