Массива в php

вообщем, есть такой код, нужно перенести $date в массив. 7 элементов

$current_day_number = date("w");
$seconds_in_day = 86400;
$current_time = time();
$what_time_was_in_monday = $current_time - (($current_day_number-1)*$seconds_in_day);

for($i = 0; $i <=6; $i++)
{
$next_day = $what_time_was_in_monday + (86400*$i);
echo $date = date("r",$next_day);
var_dump($date);
echo '<br>';
}

PHP

$current_day_number = date("w");

$seconds_in_day = 86400;

$current_time = time();

$what_time_was_in_monday = $current_time - (($current_day_number-1)*$seconds_in_day);

 

for($i = 0; $i <=6; $i++)

    {

    $next_day = $what_time_was_in_monday + (86400*$i);

    echo $date = date("r",$next_day);

    var_dump($date);

    echo '<br>';

    }
