I'm trying to populate an array with every particular weekday, say Sunday, between a start date and an end date.

The best I could think of is as below. (The dates are actually Carbon dates.)

This seems to work, except that I have noticed when I dd() the result, all array elements are assigned the final value of $d (= $endDate_Planned). If I info() log these I see that its working at the point in time each is pushed into the array, but obviously the values are some sort of reference that gets updated every time $d updates/increments.

Is there a way to avoid that?

for( $d = $startDate_Planned; $d <= $endDate_Planned; $d->addDays(7) ) {

    info($d);

    $dateArray_Planned[] = $d;

}

My Answer:
= $endDate_Planned; $d->addDay()){
if($d->dayOfWeek == Carbon::SUNDAY){
$weekdays[] = $d->copy();
}
}
