Re: Week Days

All you need is the mktime() command.

do something like:
$futureDate = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $today+
$daysToAdd, $year));

mktime() is useful for doing date arithmetic and validation, as it
will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range
input. For example, each of the following lines produces the string
"Jan-01-1998".

<?php
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 1997));
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 13, 1, 1997));
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 98));
?>

All fine and dandy... but he said WEEKDAYS, so adding 5 days to a given
day must non deduct from the 5 days when a weekend day is passed. This
kind of calculation is useful for banks and other businesses that only
process transactions on business days (which happen to be weekdays).

Easy enough to change that date(...mktime(...)) command above to return the weekday and while the weekday is a weekend just add a day and repeat.

that would give you the next monday.

Holidays are another matter though, but that could be worked around as well via a lookup table...
