get array of months between 2 dates

My solution

Code:

function get_months($date1, $date2)
{

$date1 = date('Y-m',strtotime($date1));
$date2 = date('Y-m',strtotime($date2));

if($date1 < $date2)
{
   $past = $date1;
   $future = $date2;
}
else
{
   $past = $date2;
   $future = $date1;
}

$months = array();
for($i = $past; $past<=$future; $i++)
{
   $timestamp = strtotime($past.'-1');
   $months[] = date('F Y',$timestamp);
   $past = date('Y-m',strtotime('+1 month',$timestamp));  
}

return $months;
}

The benefit of my code is that the function doesn't care about which date is in the highest.

Another way you could code the function is to let the chronology the dates are added control the sorting of the months, ascending or descending.
