Question

I have created a PHP script but while using it in my hosting server it show fatal error, then i have discovered that i need to compress this PHP code to make my script working.. Here is the code, any one can compress this code with the same output, i am a beginner in coding so can’t understand how to act this same output with minimized code and efforts so that server can easily execute this code. Thanks
The Code Need to be optimize:

$yar = 3;
while ($yar <= 9) {
    $ax = 31;
    while ($ax > 0) {
        $jaan = "$ax Jan 200$yar";
        $result = str_replace($jaan, " ", $result);
        $ax = $ax - 1;
    }
    $ax = 31;
    while ($ax > 0) {
        $feeb = "$ax Feb 200$yar";
        $result = str_replace($feeb, " ", $result);
        $ax = $ax - 1;
    }
    $ax = 31;
    while ($ax > 0) {

Answer 1

I’ll post the same code that I posted in your previous thread:

Why go through such a long and odd process, when you can do something like this?

<?php
    $yearStart = 2004;
    $yearEnd = 2012;
    $unixTime = strtotime($yearStart . "-01-01 00:00:00");
    $endUnixTime = strtotime($yearEnd . "-12-31 23:59:59");
    while ($unixTime < $endUnixTime) {
        echo date("d M Y", $unixTime) . PHP_EOL;
        $unixTime = strtotime("+1 day", $unixTime);
    }
?>

Output:

01 Jan 2004
02 Jan 2004
03 Jan 2004
...
29 Dec 2012
30 Dec 2012
31 Dec 2012

This also has the added bonus of not showing “31 Feb 2008” etc., as that date doesn’t even exist.

Codepad example of the code (WARNING: long output!)

Edit

If you want to replace every date like this with a space, you can use this one-liner (replace every date with a space):

$result = preg_replace("/([0-2][0-9]|3[0-1]) (Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) [0-9]{4}/", " ", $result);

It will turn

01 Jan 2004 blah blah 02 Jan 2004 and blah 03 Jan 2004 and who even cares about 31 Dec 2050? I know that I don’t.

into

blah blah and blah and who even cares about ? I know that I don’t.
