at least you can take date1 to generate a DateTime object and ->modify('+1 month') it until you reach date2 and grab the months in between.

How many months might there be, between the two dates? Could it be any number, fewer than twelve, is there a definition? Also, I think from your brief PHP you are planning on storing the months as a single comma-separated string in a database column, which may well be inefficient - what do you want to do with that list of months once it is in the table?

yes… once its in the data base i need to echo that thing into another page. help to sought out the code.
and max 2 months will be dere… and i need the names of that…

As @chorn said then, take the first date, keep adding a month to it and extracting the month from that, until you reach the second date.

help me by giving a rough idea of code

You have a stab at the code based on @chorn’s post above, and then post it here if you get stuck on something.
