Question

I have an array of objects. Each object includes a date value.

What’s the best of filtering the array according to a specific date range, where the range is specified as startDate & endDate?

Update:

Thanks for your replies, I used this code in the end:

 foreach ($myArray as $key => &$value)
 {
      $d = DateTime::createFromFormat(self::DATE_FORMAT, $value["orderDate"]); 
      if ($d->getTimestamp() < $startDateTime->getTimestamp() || $d->getTimestamp() > $endDateTime->getTimestamp())
      {
           unset($myArray[$key]);
      }
 }

This is the basic idea; you’ll have to tweak it for your particular object type and date type.

foreach ($myarray as $item)
    if ($item->dateitem >= $startDate  &&  
        $item->dateitem <= $endDate)
            $newarray[] = $item;
