Question

I understand how date period works with one exception, is there a way to find out from date period how many intervals there are?

So for instance:

// define the period of the range
$period = new DatePeriod($begin, $rangeType, $end);

// iterate through the dates in range
foreach ( $period as $dt ) {
}

This is what I would like to do from the above code:

echo count($period);

Basically I want to know how many time the foreach loop will end up running.

You can use the iterator_count function for this:

echo(iterator_count($period));
