[RESOLVED] Help: Script to calculate business days in the month

[shawjames]

I need a script to calculate the current business day and the total business day in a month.

Today (monday August 19th) would be the 12th business day (excluding Sat/Sun) this month and there are a total of 21 business days in the month of August.

Anyone have a suggestion of how I can get started, or is there a function that does this?

This will give you an array of the business days for a given month, which should then be pretty easy to work with. (Just do count() on the result for number of workdays.)

<?php
function getBusinessDays($mon, $yr)
{
   $result = array();
   for($day = 1; checkdate($mon, $day, $yr); $day++)
   {
      if(date('N', mktime(0,0,0,$mon,$day,$yr)) < 6)
      {
         $result[] = $day;
      }
   }
   return $result;
}

// test
echo "<pre>".print_r(getBusinessDays(8,2008), 1)."</pre>";
