Question

I have start date and end date.

I need to find out the day that is Sunday or Monday etc dependent upon user click on check box.

How can I find/calculate that in PHP?

Answer 1

You could create a function that uses strtotime() recursively to count the number of days. Since strtotime("next monday"); works just fine.

function daycount($day, $startdate, $counter)
{
    if($startdate >= time())
    {
        return $counter;
    }
    else
    {
        return daycount($day, strtotime("next ".$day, $startdate), ++$counter);
    }
}

echo daycount("monday", strtotime("01.01.2009"), 0);

Hopefully this is something you’re looking for 🙂
