How can DateTime and DatePeriod be effectively used to manage recurring events in PHP, such as weekly meetings?

To manage recurring events like weekly meetings in PHP, we can use the DateTime and DatePeriod classes. We can create a DateTime object for the start date of the recurring event and then use DatePeriod to generate a series of dates for each occurrence. By specifying the interval as 1 week, we can easily schedule weekly meetings. 

$startDate = new DateTime('2022-01-01');
$endDate = new DateTime('2022-12-31');
$interval = new DateInterval('P1W');
$recurrence = new DatePeriod($startDate, $interval, $endDate);

foreach ($recurrence as $date) {
    echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . " - Weekly Meeting\n";
}
