Please help me... I want to count 150 + 450 weekdays from a given date. How do I remove the saturdays and sundays?

Thanks for your support...

PHP Code:

 
<?php
$startDate = '2008-03-02';
$startTime = strtotime($startDate);  // convert date to UNIX timestamp integer
$plus150days = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+150 days', $startTime));
$minus450days = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-450 days', $startTime));
echo "Start: $startDate<br />+150: $plus150days<br />-450: $minus450days";

Haha, sorry, i cant help, but that title, it was just to hard to ignore...

However, I do suggest you show us what you've got so far...

It might help someone who's trying to help you.

EDIT: also, why is the code you've posted a link to activate your account? please post the code inside the [code] and [/code] tags.

I really don´t know how it could become a link!? Sorry!

I'm confused. Do you want to count 450 days from start date, or 450 days plus Sat & Sun (which would be 450+ days) from start date?

I want to count 150 and 450 monday-friday from start date.

Example: Start 080302

day 5: 080307
day 10: 080314
day 15: 080321

and so on....

I think you would have to iterate through days, convert each date into unix timestamp and pass it to getdate() to obtain info about what day of week is that date. Then if the given date is sat or sun decrease the working days counter.

PHP Code:

$days = 150;
$businessDays = $days;
$startDate = '2008-03-02';
$startTime = strtotime($startDate);
for ($i = 0; $i <= $days; $i++) {
   $currentTime = strtotime("+{$i} days", $startTime));
   $currentDay = getdate($currentTime);
   if (in_array($currentDay['wday'], array(0,6)))
      $businessDays -= 1;
}

} 


sounds like a plan...
a good plan, with lots of potential, why not try it...tell us the result...
