Thanks a lot for the sharing, Mugurel.
The solution is the simplest and clearest one on the PHP world.

Thanks for this, helped me to build my own (I’m adding in public holidays). But cant you just do:
if($what_day<=5) { // 6 and 7 are weekend days
$working_days++;
};
Rather than working which are weekends?

Technically, I think it is quicker to check for 6/7, because the ‘if’ only fires 2 out of 7 times instead of 5 out of 7 times. <-Behold the nit-pickiness 🙂

A loop? Haven’t you ever heard about primitive functions for calculating integrals?

My two cents:
function workDaysBetweenDates(DateTime $date1, DateTime $date2)
{
$workdays = 0;
$differenceInDays = $date1->diff($date2)->d;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $differenceInDays; $i++) {
$dayOftheWeek = date('N', strtotime("+{$i} days"));
if ($dayOftheWeek <= 5) {
$add = 6 – $dayOftheWeek;
$workdays += $add;
$i += $add + 1;
}
}
return $workdays;
}
This only fires once a week unless the starting date is on a saturday, then it will fire two times for the first week.
