Should do it. Uses unix time stamps.

<?php
function generate_dates($start, $end)
{
$start = strtotime($start);
$end = strtotime($end);

$oneday = 86400;

$return = array();

for ($current = $start; $current <= $end; $current+=$oneday)
{
$return[] = $current;
}

return $return;
}

print '<pre>'; print_r(generate_dates('jan 1, 2005','today'));
?>
