To determine the number of weekdays (excluding weekends) between two dates using DateTime in PHP, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create two DateTime objects representing the start and end dates.
$start = new DateTime('2022-01-01');
$end = new DateTime('2022-01-31');
Step 2: Create a DateInterval object representing one day.
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
Step 3: Create a DatePeriod object using the start, interval, and end dates.
$period = new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end);
Step 4: Loop through the DatePeriod and count the weekdays.
$weekdays = 0;
foreach ($period as $date) {
if ($date->format('N') < 6) { // Monday to Friday (1 to 5)
$weekdays++;
}
}
echo $weekdays;
In this example, the code will output the number of weekdays (excluding weekends) between January 1st and January 31st.
