I want to hide Saturday and Sunday in PHP.
I´ve build the following code:
$begin = new DateTime($row['date']);
$end = new DateTime($row['dateul']);
$end = $end->modify( '+1 day' );
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);
foreach($daterange as $date){
$array[] = $date->format("Y-m-d");
}
Until here the code is working but it outputs the complete week/days in this daterange.
I found this code:
if (strcasecmp($daterange, 'Sun') != 0
&& strcasecmp($daterange, 'Sat') != 0){
}
Do I understand it right, that if value = 1 it will output Saturday for example?
Because the main idea was the following:
if day for example sunday = 0 hide it in array, if sunday=1 show it in array.
The values are coming from MySQL.

You can use the N format for DateTime::format to check the day of week, it returns 6 for Saturday and 7 for Sunday, so as long as the value is less than 6, add it to the array:
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($begin, $interval ,$end);
$array = array();
foreach($daterange as $date){
if ($date->format('N') < 6) {
$array[] = $date->format("Y-m-d");
}
}

Update
Based on comments from the OP, days to be included have $row[<dayname>] = 1. In that case, you can use this foreach loop, using l format to get the full day of week name and strtolower to convert to lowercase to use as an index into $row:
foreach($daterange as $date){
if ($row[strtolower($date->format('l'))]) {
$array[] = $date->format("D Y-m-d");
}
}
