Filling gaps in dates


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

So i'm doing a query for sales data and my return array looks like this

('date' => '2008-11-01 00:00:00', 'total' => 1),
('date' => '2008-11-03 00:00:00', 'total' => 3),
('date' => '2008-11-04 00:00:00', 'total' => 3),
('date' => '2008-11-07 00:00:00', 'total' => 5),
('date' => '2008-11-12 00:00:00', 'total' => 1)

There are obviously gaps in my dates. What i'm trying to figure out is the best approach to filling those empty dates with a total of 0 so my graphs don't look all jacked up because i'm not providing all the data. Does anyone have an idea how to approach this problem to fill in the missing dates? I'd like the array to look like the following:


('date' => '2008-11-01 00:00:00', 'total' => 1),
('date' => '2008-11-02 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-03 00:00:00', 'total' => 3),
('date' => '2008-11-04 00:00:00', 'total' => 3),
('date' => '2008-11-05 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-06 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-07 00:00:00', 'total' => 5),
('date' => '2008-11-08 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-09 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-10 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-11 00:00:00', 'total' => 0),
('date' => '2008-11-12 00:00:00', 'total' => 1)
