Look into DatePeriod(http://php.net/manual/en/dateperiod.construct.php) And try if you can solve it yourself — Rizier123, Feb 11 '15 at 00:16

This should work for you:

(Here i just simply used DatePeriod)

<?php

    $start = new DateTime("2015-01-25 13:45:01 ");
    $end = new DateTime("2015-01-28 02:58:01");
    $end = $end->modify("+1 day"); 

    $interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
    $dateRange = new DatePeriod($start, $interval ,$end);

    foreach($dateRange as $date)
        echo $date->format("Y-m-d") . "<br />";

?>

Output:
