How to arrange/make an array in PHP

I have a date range 1st Nov to 30th Nov.

            [start_date] => 2023-11-21
            [end_date] => 2023-11-30
        )
)

Please help me to solve this issue.

I’m try using this array but it’s not happening.

foreach($dates as $calDay) {
   if($calDay['IsBlocked'] == "true") {
       $closeDates[] = $calDay['date'];
   } else {
       $openDates[] = $calDay['date'];
   }
}

>Solution :

$dates = [
    // ... your existing array of dates ...
];

$availableRanges = [];
$currentRange = null;

foreach ($dates as $calDay) {
    if ($calDay['IsBlocked'] == "true") {
        // If the current range exists, add it to the availableRanges array
        if ($currentRange) {
            $availableRanges[] = $currentRange;
            $currentRange = null;
        }
    } else {
        // If the current range does not exist, create a new range
        if (!$currentRange) {
            $currentRange = [
                'start_date' => $calDay['date'],
                'end_date' => $calDay['date']
            ];
        }
        // Update the end_date of the current range
        $currentRange['end_date'] = $calDay['date'];
    }
}

// Add the last available range if it exists
if ($currentRange) {
    $availableRanges[] = $currentRange;
}

In this code, the $availableRanges array will store the final result, and the $currentRange variable keeps track of the current range being processed. Whenever a blocked date is encountered, the current range is added to the $availableRanges array and reset to null. If an available date is found, a new range is created or the end_date of the current range is updated.

At the end of the loop, the last available range (if it exists) is added to the $availableRanges array.

The resulting $availableRanges array will contain the start and end dates of the available date ranges.
