This can be done nicely using a DatePeriod as an Iterator and then filterd to the start date you want to display:

starttime = $start->getTimestamp();
    }
    public function accept() {
        return ($this->starttime < $this->current()->getTimestamp());
    }
}

$db = new DateTime( '2009-11-16' );
$de = new DateTime( '2020-12-31 23:59:59' );
$di = DateInterval::createFromDateString( '+3 days' );
$df = new DateFilterIterator(
    new DatePeriod( $db, $di, $de ),
    new DateTime( '2009-12-01') );

foreach ( $df as $dt )
{
    echo $dt->format( "l Y-m-d H:i:s\n" );
}
?>
