How to turn strotime output into a variable

Question

I’m trying to use this script, which returns every Monday between two periods:

$beginday = isset($_POST["Tinsem3"]) ? $_POST["Tinsem3"] : false;
$lastday  = isset($_POST["Tdesl"]) ? $_POST["Tdesl"] : false;

$lastday = strtotime($lastday);
for($i = strtotime('Monday', strtotime($beginday)); $i <= $lastday; $i = strtotime('+1 week', $i))
    echo date('l Y-m-d', $i);

I adapted to search the form data, and output between dates 08/04/2015 and 08/05/2015 is already correct:

Monday 2015-04-13

Monday 2015-04-20

Monday 2015-04-27

Monday 2015-05-04

What I want is to put each of these results within variables, so I can count how many seconds there are and use to do some calculations.

I’ve tried to do something like:

$tornararray = array (date('l Y-m-d', $i));

And then count the arrays, with something like:

$total2 = count(array_filter($tornararray)); 

But when do I give var_dumpof $tornararray, I get the exit:

array(1) { [0]=> string(17) "Monday 2015-05-04" }

From what I understand, he’s only picking up the last occurrence. How do I turn each of the results I get with echo date('l Y-m-d', $i); in variables?

Warning: This question is is not duplicate of this. These are different questions. Here I want to know how to include the results (from another script, not the one used in that question) within variables, while in that other one I have very different goals (adapt that working day script etc...).

Answer 1

$arr = array();
for($i = strtotime('Monday', strtotime($beginday)); $i <= $lastday; $i = strtotime('+1 week', $i))
    array_push($arr, date('l Y-m-d', $i));

print_r($arr);

Answer 2

I’m sorry if I misunderstood, but what you want is this?

$date = array();

for($i = strtotime('Monday', strtotime($beginday)); $i <= $lastday; $i = strtotime('+1 week', $i))
{
    $date[] = date('l Y-m-d', $i);
}

$total = count( $date );
