So I have a script that returns the number of weeks in a particular month and year. How can I take a specific day from that month and determine if it is part of week 1,2,3,4 or 5 of that month?
The most frustrating thing I have ever tried to get working - but here it is!
<?php
/**
* Returns the amount of weeks into the month a date is
* #param $date a YYYY-MM-DD formatted date
* #param $rollover The day on which the week rolls over
*/
function getWeeks($date, $rollover)
{
$cut = substr($date, 0, 8);
$daylen = 86400;
$timestamp = strtotime($date);
$first = strtotime($cut . "00");
$elapsed = ($timestamp - $first) / $daylen;
$weeks = 1;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $elapsed; $i++)
{
$dayfind = $cut . (strlen($i) < 2 ? '0' . $i : $i);
$daytimestamp = strtotime($dayfind);
$day = strtolower(date("l", $daytimestamp));
if($day == strtolower($rollover)) $weeks ++;
}
return $weeks;
}
//
echo getWeeks("2011-06-11", "sunday"); //outputs 2, for the second week of the month
?>
Edit: so much for "single line" - needed variables to avoid recomputation with the conditional. Tossed in a default argument while I was at it.
function weekOfMonth($when = null) {
if ($when === null) $when = time();
$week = date('W', $when); // note that ISO weeks start on Monday
$firstWeekOfMonth = date('W', strtotime(date('Y-m-01', $when)));
return 1 + ($week < $firstWeekOfMonth ? $week : $week - $firstWeekOfMonth);
}
Please note that weekOfMonth(strtotime('Oct 31, 2011')); will return 6; some rare months have 6 weeks in them, contrary to OP's expectation. January 2017 is another month with 6 ISO weeks - Sunday the 1st falls in the last year's week, since ISO weeks start on Monday.
For starshine531, to return a 0 indexed week of the month, change the return 1 + to return 0 + or return (int).
For Justin Stayton, for weeks starting on Sunday instead of Monday I would use strftime('%U' instead of date('W', as follows:
function weekOfMonth($when = null) {
if ($when === null) $when = time();
$week = strftime('%U', $when); // weeks start on Sunday
$firstWeekOfMonth = strftime('%U', strtotime(date('Y-m-01', $when)));
return 1 + ($week < $firstWeekOfMonth ? $week : $week - $firstWeekOfMonth);
}
For this version, 2017-04-30 is now in week 6 of April, while 2017-01-31 is now in week 5.
public function getWeeks($timestamp)
{
$maxday = date("t",$timestamp);
$thismonth = getdate($timestamp);
$timeStamp = mktime(0,0,0,$thismonth['mon'],1,$thismonth['year']); //Create time stamp of the first day from the give date.
$startday = date('w',$timeStamp); //get first day of the given month
$day = $thismonth['mday'];
$weeks = 0;
$week_num = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) {
if(($i % 7) == 0){
$weeks++;
}
if($day == ($i - $startday + 1)){
$week_num = $weeks;
}
}
return $week_num;
}
Hello all i have been struggling for the whole day trying to figure this code out, i finally figured it out so i thought i would share it with you all.
all you need to do is put a time stamp into the function and it will return the week number back to you.
thanks
there is a problem with this method. if the passing date (Lets say 2012/01/01 which is a Sunday) and "$rollover" day is "Sunday", then this function will return 2. where its actually is 1'st week. i think i have fixed it in following function.
please add comments to make it better.
function getWeeks($date, $rollover)
{
$cut = substr($date, 0, 8);
$daylen = 86400;
$timestamp = strtotime($date);
$first = strtotime($cut . "01");
$elapsed = (($timestamp - $first) / $daylen)+1;
$i = 1;
$weeks = 0;
for($i==1; $i<=$elapsed; $i++)
{
$dayfind = $cut . (strlen($i) < 2 ? '0' . $i : $i);
$daytimestamp = strtotime($dayfind);
$day = strtolower(date("l", $daytimestamp));
if($day == strtolower($rollover))
{
$weeks++;
}
}
if($weeks==0)
{
$weeks++;
}
return $weeks;
}
This is a solution based on sberry's mathematical solution but using the PHP DateTime class instead.
function week_of_month($date) {
$first_of_month = new DateObject($date->format('Y/m/1'));
$day_of_first = $first_of_month->format('N');
$day_of_month = $date->format('j');
return floor(($day_of_first + $day_of_month - 1) / 7) + 1;
}
Just Copy and Past the code and pass month and year.
e.g month=04 year=2013.
That's exactly what You Need.
$mm= $_REQUEST['month'];
$yy= $_REQUEST['year'];
$startdate=date($yy."-".$mm."-01") ;
$current_date=date('Y-m-t');
$ld= cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $mm, $yy);
$lastday=$yy.'-'.$mm.'-'.$ld;
$start_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($startdate));
$end_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($lastday));
$end_date1 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($lastday." + 6 days"));
$count_week=0;
$week_array = array();
for($date = $start_date; $date <= $end_date1; $date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date. ' + 7 days')))
{
$getarray=getWeekDates($date, $start_date, $end_date);
echo "<br>";
$week_array[]=$getarray;
echo "\n";
$count_week++;
}
// its give the number of week for the given month and year
echo $count_week;
//print_r($week_array);
function getWeekDates($date, $start_date, $end_date)
{
$week = date('W', strtotime($date));
$year = date('Y', strtotime($date));
$from = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("{$year}-W{$week}+1"));
if($from < $start_date) $from = $start_date;
$to = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("{$year}-W{$week}-6"));
if($to > $end_date) $to = $end_date;
$array1 = array(
"ssdate" => $from,
"eedate" => $to,
);
return $array1;
// echo "Start Date-->".$from."End Date -->".$to;
}
for($i=0;$i<$count_week;$i++)
{
$start= $week_array[$i]['ssdate'];
echo "--";
$week_array[$i]['eedate'];
echo "<br>";
}
OUTPUT:
week( 0 )=>2013-03-01---2013-03-02
week( 1 )=>2013-03-03---2013-03-09
week( 2 )=>2013-03-10---2013-03-16
week( 3 )=>2013-03-17---2013-03-23
week( 4 )=>2013-03-24---2013-03-30
week( 5 )=>2013-03-31---2013-03-31
I think I found an elegant solution
$time = time(); // or whenever
$week_of_the_month = ceil(date('d', $time)/7);
For a Monday-Sunday (ISO 8601) week (or, if you simply don't care), you can do this in one line:
function get_week_of_month($date) {
return date('W', $date) - date('W', strtotime(date("Y-m-01", $date))) + 1;
}
(Source)
For anything else, (e.g. a Sunday-Saturday week), you just need to tweak $date inside the function:
function get_week_of_month($date) {
$date += 86400; //For weeks starting on Sunday
return date('W', $date) - date('W', strtotime(date("Y-m-01", $date))) + 1;
}
(Thanks to these guys/gals)
NOTE: You may run into some issues at the end of the year (e.g. around 12/31, 1/1, etc.). Read more here.
This is the snippet that I made to fulfill my requirements for the same. Hope this will help you.
function getWeek($timestamp) {
$week_year = date('W',$timestamp);
$week = 0;//date('d',$timestamp)/7;
$year = date('Y',$timestamp);
$month = date('m',$timestamp);
$day = date('d',$timestamp);
$prev_month = date('m',$timestamp) -1;
if($month != 1 ){
$last_day_prev = $year."-".$prev_month."-1";
$last_day_prev = date('t',strtotime($last_day_prev));
$week_year_last_mon = date('W',strtotime($year."-".$prev_month."-".$last_day_prev));
$week_year_first_this = date('W',strtotime($year."-".$month."-1"));
if($week_year_first_this == $week_year_last_mon){
$week_diff = 0;
}
else{
$week_diff = 1;
}
if($week_year ==1 && $month == 12 ){
// to handle December's last two days coming in first week of January
$week_year = 53;
}
$week = $week_year-$week_year_last_mon + 1 +$week_diff;
}
else{
// to handle first three days January coming in last week of December.
$week_year_first_this = date('W',strtotime($year."-01-1"));
if($week_year_first_this ==52 || $week_year_first_this ==53){
if($week_year == 52 || $week_year == 53){
$week =1;
}
else{
$week = $week_year + 1;
}
}
else{
$week = $week_year;
}
}
return $week;
}
This is probably not a good way to do this but it's my first thought and I'm really tired.
Put all your dates into an array. The date object must have a day name (Monday). Create a method that searches the array and when ever you hit a Sunday you add 1 to a week counter. Once you find the date you're looking for return the week counter. That is the week the day falls in of the year. For the week in the month you have to reset the week counter every time you get to the last day in each month.
Here comes two liner:
function getWeekOfMonth(DateTime $date) {
$firstDayOfMonth = new DateTime($date->format('Y-m-1'));
return ceil(($firstDayOfMonth->format('N') + $date->format('j') - 1) / 7);
}
And Wtower's solutions doesn't work 100% properly.
Thought I'd share my function as well. This returns an array of weeks. Every week is an array with weeks day (0..6) as key and months day (1..31) as value.
Function assumes that week starts with Sunday.
Enjoy!
function get_weeks($year, $month){
$days_in_month = date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year));
$weeks_in_month = 1;
$weeks = array();
//loop through month
for ($day=1; $day<=$days_in_month; $day++) {
$week_day = date("w", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year));//0..6 starting sunday
$weeks[$weeks_in_month][$week_day] = $day;
if ($week_day == 6) {
$weeks_in_month++;
}
}
return $weeks;
}
My 5 cents:
/**
* calculate number of weeks in a particular month
*/
function weeksInMonth($month=null,$year=null){
if( null==($year) ) {
$year = date("Y",time());
}
if(null==($month)) {
$month = date("m",time());
}
// find number of days in this month
$daysInMonths = date('t',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));
$numOfweeks = ($daysInMonths%7==0?0:1) + intval($daysInMonths/7);
$monthEndingDay= date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-'.$daysInMonths));
$monthStartDay = date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));
if($monthEndingDay<$monthStartDay){
$numOfweeks++;
}
return $numOfweeks;
}
I create this function, from brazil :) I hope it is useful
function weekofmonth($time) {
$firstday = 1;
$lastday = date('j',$time);
$lastdayweek = 6; //Saturday
$week = 1;
for ($day=1;$day<=$lastday;$day++) {
$timetmp = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('n',$time), $day, date('Y',$time));
if (date('N',$timetmp) == $lastdayweek) {
$week++;
}
}
if (date('N',$time)==$lastdayweek) {
$week--;
}
return $week;
}
$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, 30, 2014);
echo weekofmonth($time);
I found a easy way to determine what week of the month today is in, and it would be a small change to have it work on any other date. I'm adding my two cents in here as I think my way is much more compact then the methods listed.
$monthstart = date("N",strtotime(date("n/1/Y")));
$date =( date("j")+$monthstart ) /7;
$ddate= floor( $date );
if($ddate != date) {$ddate++;}
and $ddate contains the week number you could modify it like so
function findweek($indate)
{
$monthstart = date("N",strtotime(date("n/1/Y",strtotime($indate))));
$date =( date("j",strtotime($indate))+$monthstart ) /7;
$ddate= floor( $date );
if($ddate != $date) {$ddate++;}
return $ddate;
}
and it would return what week of the month any date you give it is.
what it does is first find the number of days from the start of the week to the first of the month. then adds that on to the current date then divides the new date by 7 and that will give you how many weeks have passed since the start of the month, including a decimal place for the part of the the current week that has passed. so what I do next is round down that number, then compare the rounded down version to the original if the two match your at the end of the week so it's already in the number. if they don't then just add one to the rounded down number and voila you have the current week number.
Srahul07's solution works perfectly... If you abide by the Monday-Sunday week system! Here in 'murica, non-business folk tend to go by Sunday-Saturday being a week, so May 1, 2011 is week 1 and May 2, 2011 is still week 1.
Adding the following logic to the bottom of his function, right before it returns $week will convert this to a Sunday -> Monday system:
if (!date('w',strtotime("$year-$month-01")) && date('w',$timestamp))
$week--;
elseif (date('w',strtotime("$year-$month-01")) && !date('w',$timestamp))
$week++;
After alot of efoort i found the solution
<?php
function getWeeks($month,$year)
{
$month = intval($month); //force month to single integer if '0x'
$suff = array('st','nd','rd','th','th','th'); //week suffixes
$end = date('t',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year)); //last date day of month: 28 - 31
$start = date('w',mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year)); //1st day of month: 0 - 6 (Sun - Sat)
$last = 7 - $start; //get last day date (Sat) of first week
$noweeks = ceil((($end - ($last + 1))/7) + 1); //total no. weeks in month
$output = ""; //initialize string
$monthlabel = str_pad($month, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
for($x=1;$x<$noweeks+1;$x++)
{
if($x == 1)
{
$startdate = "$year-$monthlabel-01";
$day = $last - 6;
}
else
{
$day = $last + 1 + (($x-2)*7);
$day = str_pad($day, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
$startdate = "$year-$monthlabel-$day";
}
if($x == $noweeks)
{
$enddate = "$year-$monthlabel-$end";
}
else
{
$dayend = $day + 6;
$dayend = str_pad($dayend, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
$enddate = "$year-$monthlabel-$dayend";
}
$j=1;
if($j--)
{
$k=getTotalDate($startdate,$enddate);
$j=1;
}
$output .= "Week ".$xyz." week -> Start date=$startdate End date=$enddate <br />";
}
return $output;
}
if(isset($_POST) && !empty($_POST)){
$month = $_POST['m'];
$year = $_POST['y'];
echo getWeeks($month,$year);
}
?>

I really liked #michaelc's answer. However, I got stuck on a few points. It seemed that every time Sunday rolled around, there was an offset of one. I think it has to do with what day of the week is the start of the week. In any case, here is my slight alteration to it, expanded a bit for readability:
function wom(\DateTime $date) {
// The week of the year of the current month
$cw = date('W', $date->getTimestamp());
// The week of the year of the first of the given month
$fw = date('W',strtotime(date('Y-m-01',$date->getTimeStamp())));
// Offset
$o = 1;
// If it is a Saturday, offset by two.
if( date('N',$date->getTimestamp()) == 7 ) {
$o = 2;
}
return $cw -$fw + $o;
}
So if the date is Nov. 9, 2013...
$cw = 45
$fw = 44
and with the offset of 1, it correctly returns 2.
If the date is Nov. 10, 2013, $cw and $fw are the same as before, but the offset is 2, and it correctly returns 3.
function get_week_of_month( $timestamp )
{
$week_of_month = 0;
$month = date( 'j', $timestamp );
$test_month = $month;
while( $test_month == $month )
{
$week_of_month++;
$timestamp = strtotime( '-1 week', $timestamp );
$test_month = date( 'j', $timestamp );
}
return $week_of_month;
}
I found this online:
http://kcwebprogrammers.blogspot.de/2009/03/current-week-in-month-php.html
He has a very simple solution which seems to work fine for me.
$currentWeek = ceiling((date("d") - date("w") - 1) / 7) + 1;
So for example:
$now = strtotime("today");
$weekOfMonth = ceil((date("d", $now) - date("w", $now) - 1) / 7) + 1;
you can use W in newer php versions. http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
i have used it like so:
function getWeek($date) {
$month_start=strtotime("1 ".date('F Y',$date));
$current_date=strtotime(date('j F Y',$date));
$month_week=date("W",$month_start);
$current_week=date("W",$current_date);
return ($current_week-$month_week);
}//0 is the week of the first.
Short and foolproof:
// Function accepts $date as a string,
// Returns the week number in which the given date falls.
// Assumed week starts on Sunday.
function wom($date) {
$date = strtotime($date);
$weeknoofday = date('w', $date);
$day = date('j', $date);
$weekofmonth = ceil(($day + (7-($weeknoofday+1))) / 7);
return $weekofmonth;
}
// Test
foreach (range(1, 31) as $day) {
$test_date = "2015-01-" . str_pad($day, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
echo "$test_date - ";
echo wom($test_date) . "\n";
}
I use this simple function:
function weekNumberInMonth($timestampDate)
{
$firstDayOfMonth = strtotime(date('01-M-Y 00:00:00', $timestampDate));
$firstWeekdayOfMonth = date( 'w', $firstDayOfMonth);
$dayNumberInMonth = date('d', $timestampDate);
$weekNumberInMonth = ceil(($dayNumberInMonth + $firstWeekdayOfMonth) / 7);
return $weekNumberInMonth;
}
if I understand correct, the question is how to identify what number of week within a month of a specific day... I was looking for similar solution. I used some ideas of above answers to develop my own solution. Hope it can be helpful for somebody. If Yes, then UpVote my answer.
function week_number_within_month($datenew){
$year = date("Y",strtotime($datenew));
$month = date("m",strtotime($datenew));
// find number of days in this month
$daysInMonths = date('t',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));
$numOfweeks = ($daysInMonths%7==0?0:1) + intval($daysInMonths/7);
$monthEndingDay= date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-'.$daysInMonths));
$monthStartDay = date('N',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-01'));
if($monthEndingDay<$monthStartDay){
$numOfweeks++;
}
$date=date('Y/m/d', strtotime($year.'-'. $month.'-01'));
$week_array=Array();
for ($i=1; $i<=$numOfweeks; $i++){ /// create an Array of all days of month separated by weeks as a keys
$max = 7;
if ($i ==1){ $max = 8 - $monthStartDay;}
if ($i == $numOfweeks){ $max = $monthEndingDay;}
for ($r=1; $r<=$max; $r++){
$week_array[$i][]=$date;
$date = date('Y/m/d',strtotime($date . "+1 days"));
}
}
$new_datenew = date('Y/m/d', strtotime($datenew));
$week_result='';
foreach ($week_array as $key => $val){ /// finding what week number of my date from week_array
foreach ($val as $kr => $value){
if ($new_datenew == $value){
$week_result = $key;
}
}
}
return $week_result;
}
print week_number_within_month('2016-09-15');
function getWeekOfMonth(\DateTime $date)
{
$firstWeekdayOfMonth = new DateTime("first weekday 0 {$date->format('M')} {$date->format('Y')}");
$offset = $firstWeekdayOfMonth->format('N')-1;
return intval(($date->format('j') + $offset)/7)+1;
}
/**
* In case of Week we can get the week of year. So whenever we will get the week of the month then we have to
* subtract the until last month weeks from it will give us the current month week.
*/
$dateComponents = getdate();
if($dateComponents['mon'] == 1)
$weekOfMonth = date('W', strtotime($dateComponents['year'].'-'.$dateComponents['mon'].'-'.$dateComponents['mday']))-1; // We subtract -1 to map it to the array
else
$weekOfMonth = date('W', strtotime($dateComponents['year'].'-'.$dateComponents['mon'].'-'.$dateComponents['mday']))-date('W', strtotime($dateComponents['year'].'-'.$dateComponents['mon'].'-01'));
Using Carbon:
$date = Carbon::now();
$d1 = $date->startOfMonth();
$d2 = $date->endOfMonth();
$weeks = $d1->diffInWeeks($d2);
If you clearly want to separate a month into 4 Weeks, you can use this function.
This is helpful, if you want
"the first monday of month"
"the third thursday of month" etc.
Here we go
/**
* This Calculates (and returns) the week number within a month, based on date('j') day of month.
* This is useful, if you want to have (for instance) the first Thu in month, regardless of date
* #param $Timestamp
* #return float|int
*/
function getWeekOfMonth($Timestamp)
{
$DayOfMonth=date('j', $Timestamp); // Day of the month without leading zeros 0-31
if($DayOfMonth>21) return 4;
if($DayOfMonth>14) return 3;
if($DayOfMonth>7) return 2;
return 1;
}
From carbon:
return (int) ceil((new Datetime())->format('d') / 7);
As simple as possible :)
Python: Number of the Week in a Month
This is a worked example in Python - should be simple to convert.
Does anyone have a PHP snippet to calculate the next business day for a given date?
How does, for example, YYYY-MM-DD need to be converted to find out the next business day?
Example:
For 03.04.2011 (DD-MM-YYYY) the next business day is 04.04.2011.
For 08.04.2011 the next business day is 11.04.2011.
This is the variable containing the date I need to know the next business day for
$cubeTime['time'];
Variable contains: 2011-04-01
result of the snippet should be: 2011-04-04
Next Weekday
This finds the next weekday from a specific date (not including Saturday or Sunday):
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('2011-04-05 +1 Weekday'));
You could also do it with a date variable of course:
$myDate = '2011-04-05';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($myDate . ' +1 Weekday'));
UPDATE: Or, if you have access to PHP's DateTime class (very likely):
$date = new DateTime('2018-01-27');
$date->modify('+7 weekday');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
Want to Skip Holidays?:
Although the original poster mentioned "I don't need to consider holidays", if you DO happen to want to ignore holidays, just remember - "Holidays" is just an array of whatever dates you don't want to include and differs by country, region, company, person...etc.
Simply put the above code into a function that excludes/loops past the dates you don't want included. Something like this:
$tmpDate = '2015-06-22';
$holidays = ['2015-07-04', '2015-10-31', '2015-12-25'];
$i = 1;
$nextBusinessDay = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($tmpDate . ' +' . $i . ' Weekday'));
while (in_array($nextBusinessDay, $holidays)) {
$i++;
$nextBusinessDay = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($tmpDate . ' +' . $i . ' Weekday'));
}
I'm sure the above code can be simplified or shortened if you want. I tried to write it in an easy-to-understand way.
For UK holidays you can use
https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays#england-and-wales
The ICS format data is easy to parse. My suggestion is...
# $date must be in YYYY-MM-DD format
# You can pass in either an array of holidays in YYYYMMDD format
# OR a URL for a .ics file containing holidays
# this defaults to the UK government holiday data for England and Wales
function addBusinessDays($date,$numDays=1,$holidays='') {
if ($holidays==='') $holidays = 'https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays/england-and-wales.ics';
if (!is_array($holidays)) {
$ch = curl_init($holidays);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
$ics = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$ics = explode("\n",$ics);
$ics = preg_grep('/^DTSTART;/',$ics);
$holidays = preg_replace('/^DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:(\\d{4})(\\d{2})(\\d{2}).*/s','$1-$2-$3',$ics);
}
$addDay = 0;
while ($numDays--) {

This function should ignore weekends (6 = Saturday and 0 = Sunday).
This function will calculate the business day in the future or past. Arguments are number of days, forward (1) or backwards(0), and a date. If no date is supplied todays date will be used:
// returned $date Y/m/d
function work_days_from_date($days, $forward, $date=NULL)
{
if(!$date)
{
$date = date('Y-m-d'); // if no date given, use todays date
}
while ($days != 0)
{
$forward == 1 ? $day = strtotime($date.' +1 day') : $day = strtotime($date.' -1 day');
$date = date('Y-m-d',$day);
if( date('N', strtotime($date)) <= 5) // if it's a weekday
{
$days--;
}
}
return $date;
}
What you need to do is:
Convert the provided date into a timestamp.
Use this along with the or w or N formatters for PHP's date command to tell you what day of the week it is.
If it isn't a "business day", you can then increment the timestamp by a day (86400 seconds) and check again until you hit a business day.
N.B.: For this is really work, you'd also need to exclude any bank or public holidays, etc.
I stumbled apon this thread when I was working on a Danish website where I needed to code a "Next day delivery" PHP script.
Here is what I came up with (This will display the name of the next working day in Danish, and the next working + 1 if current time is more than a given limit)
$day["Mon"] = "Mandag";
$day["Tue"] = "Tirsdag";
$day["Wed"] = "Onsdag";
$day["Thu"] = "Torsdag";
$day["Fri"] = "Fredag";
$day["Sat"] = "Lørdag";
$day["Sun"] = "Søndag";
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Copenhagen');
$date = date('l');
$checkTime = '1400';
$date2 = date(strtotime($date.' +1 Weekday'));
if( date( 'Hi' ) >= $checkTime) {
$date2 = date(strtotime($date.' +2 Weekday'));
}
if (date('l') == 'Saturday'){
$date2 = date(strtotime($date.' +2 Weekday'));
}
if (date('l') == 'Sunday') {
$date2 = date(strtotime($date.' +2 Weekday'));
}
echo '<p>Næste levering: <span>'.$day[date("D", $date2)].'</span></p>';
As you can see in the sample code $checkTime is where I set the time limit which determines if the next day delivery will be +1 working day or +2 working days.
'1400' = 14:00 hours
I know that the if statements can be made more compressed, but I show my code for people to easily understand the way it works.
I hope someone out there can use this little snippet.
Here is the best way to get business days (Mon-Fri) in PHP.
function days()
{
$week=array();
$weekday=["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"];
foreach ($weekday as $key => $value)
{
$sort=$value." this week";
$day=date('D', strtotime($sort));
$date=date('d', strtotime($sort));
$year=date('Y-m-d', strtotime($sort));
$weeks['day']= $day;
$weeks['date']= $date;
$weeks['year']= $year;
$week[]=$weeks;
}
return $week;
}
Hope this will help you guys.
Thanks,.
See the example below:
$startDate = new DateTime( '2013-04-01' ); //intialize start date
$endDate = new DateTime( '2013-04-30' ); //initialize end date
$holiday = array('2013-04-11','2013-04-25'); //this is assumed list of holiday
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D'); // set the interval as 1 day
$daterange = new DatePeriod($startDate, $interval ,$endDate);
foreach($daterange as $date){
if($date->format("N") <6 AND !in_array($date->format("Y-m-d"),$holiday))
$result[] = $date->format("Y-m-d");
}
echo "<pre>";print_r($result);

You could do something like this.
/**
* #param string $date
* #param DateTimeZone|null|null $DateTimeZone
* #return \NavigableDate\NavigableDateInterface
*/
function getNextBusinessDay(string $date, ? DateTimeZone $DateTimeZone = null):\NavigableDate\NavigableDateInterface
{
$Date = \NavigableDate\NavigableDateFacade::create($date, $DateTimeZone);
$NextDay = $Date->nextDay();
while(true)
{
$nextDayIndexInTheWeek = (int) $NextDay->format('N');
// check if the day is between Monday and Friday. In DateTime class php, Monday is 1 and Friday is 5
if ($nextDayIndexInTheWeek >= 1 && $nextDayIndexInTheWeek <= 5)
{
break;
}
$NextDay = $NextDay->nextDay();
}
return $NextDay;
}
$date = '2017-02-24';
$NextBussinessDay = getNextBusinessDay($date);
var_dump($NextBussinessDay->format('Y-m-d'));
Output:
string(10) "2017-02-27"
\NavigableDate\NavigableDateFacade::create($date, $DateTimeZone), is provided by php library available at https://packagist.org/packages/ishworkh/navigable-date. You need to first include this library in your project with composer or direct download.
I used below methods in PHP, strtotime() does not work specially in leap year February month.
public static function nextWorkingDay($date, $addDays = 1)
{
if (strlen(trim($date)) <= 10) {
$date = trim($date)." 09:00:00";
}
$date = new DateTime($date);
//Add days
$date->add(new DateInterval('P'.$addDays.'D'));
while ($date->format('N') >= 5)
{
$date->add(new DateInterval('P1D'));
}
return $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}
This solution for 5 working days (you can change if you required for 6 or 4 days working). if you want to exclude more days like holidays then just check another condition in while loop.
//
while ($date->format('N') >= 5 && !in_array($date->format('Y-m-d'), self::holidayArray()))
