This example is how to Number of week days between two dates in php?

You are given two string (dd-mm-yyyy) representing two date, you have to find number of all weekdays present in between given dates.(both inclusive)

So let's start following example.

Example:

<?php
    // input start and end date
    $startDate = "01-01-2018";
    $endDate = "01-01-2019";

      
    $resultDays = array('Monday' => 0,
    'Tuesday' => 0,
    'Wednesday' => 0,
    'Thursday' => 0,
    'Friday' => 0,
    'Saturday' => 0,
    'Sunday' => 0);

  
    // change string to date time object
    $startDate = new DateTime($startDate);
    $endDate = new DateTime($endDate);

  
    // iterate over start to end date
    while($startDate <= $endDate ){
        // find the timestamp value of start date
        $timestamp = strtotime($startDate->format('d-m-Y'));

  
        // find out the day for timestamp and increase particular day
        $weekDay = date('l', $timestamp);
        $resultDays[$weekDay] = $resultDays[$weekDay] + 1;

  
        // increase startDate by 1
        $startDate->modify('+1 day');
    }

  
    // print the result
    print_r($resultDays);
?>

Output:

    [Monday] => 53
    [Tuesday] => 53
    [Wednesday] => 52
    [Thursday] => 52
    [Friday] => 52
