Wordays between two dates

[janosch]

Hi!

I need a function that returns the number of workdays (i.e. Monday to Friday) between two given dates (timestamps).

Any hints? tia!

what do you want exactly ? Number... Monday to Friday ? ? ?

What about something like this...

<?php
$start = strtotime("1/20/2003");
$end = strtotime("2/24/2003");

/* Friendly number of days in the timespan */
$span = ($end-$start)/86400;

/* Initialize the number of workdays */
$workdays = 0;

/* Initialize a variable variable ;) */
$i = $start;

while($i <= $end) {
  if(date(D,$i) != "Sat" and date(D,$i) != "Sun"){
	   $workdays = $workdays+1;
	}
  $i = $i + 86400;
}

echo "The chosen span of ".$span." days contains a total of ".$workdays." working days.";
?>

EDIT: You'll want to account for holidays, eh!
