In the below function you can get range of dates:

function date_range( $start, $end, $step = '+1 day', $format = 'Y/m/d' )
{
$dates = array();
$current = strtotime( $start );
$end = strtotime( $end );
while( $current <= $end ) {
$dates[] = date( $format, $current );
$current = strtotime( $step, $current );
}
return $dates;
}
print_r( date_range( '2010/07/26', '2010/08/05') );
