There is the DatePeriod class.

EXAMPLE:

$begin = new DateTime('2013-02-01');
$end = new DateTime('2013-02-13');

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

foreach($daterange as $date){
    echo $date->format("Y-m-d") . "<br>";
}

(P1D stands for period of one day, see DateInterval for further documentation)

Almost there - dates from 2017-11-03 to 2017-11-10 show 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09. We should either exclude 03 or include 10. – crafter Nov 10 '17 at 08:34

You can check out this function also

        $day = 86400; // Day in seconds  
        $format = 'Y-m-d'; // Output format (see PHP date funciton)  
        $sTime = strtotime($start_date); // Start as time  
        $eTime = strtotime($end_date); // End as time  
        $numDays = round(($eTime - $sTime) / $day) + 1;  
        $days = array();  

        for ($d = 0; $d < $numDays; $d++) {  
            $days[] = date($format, ($sTime + ($d * $day)));  
        }

Notice that $day = 86400; is not always correct, there are shorter and longer days when summer time is applied. – Gabriel Reguly Aug 14 '17 at 16:49
@GabrielReguly is correct, 86400 is unreliable. If you build a calendar based on 86400 seconds per day you'll even get 28 oct 2018 twice. – Marcel Sep 20 '18 at 13:00
This does not take leap seconds into account. – Emil Vikström Oct 10 '18 at 11:14

    $start_date  = '2020/09/01';
    $end_date    = '2020-09-03';

    $new_date = new DateTime($end_date);
    $new_date->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
    $end_date = $new_date->format('Y-m-d');

    $period = new DatePeriod(
    new DateTime($start_date),
    new DateInterval('P1D'),
    new DateTime($end_date)
   );

   print_r($period);
   foreach ($period as $key => $value) {
     echo $value->format('Y-m-d')  .'<br>';      
   }

Print:
2020-09-01
2020-09-02
2020-09-03
