Hello all! I have written some code that will calculate all static and floating holidays. I have also written some code that will act as a business day counter. My application currently determines a set number of business days to count. (2 business days and 7 business days from today) This part works great and gives the results I want. What I need to do is tie in my pre dertermined static and floating holidays and factor those into the busniess day counter. I was thinking of putting the holidays into an array and then doing a check to determine if any date in the array equaled today's date through the ending date. But I'm drawing a blank on how to create the array. // Create an empty array $holidays = array(); But then how do I put each holiday value into the array as it is calculated? Can I assign it that way? Or should I calculate all of the values and then build the array at the end? Or should I not even use an array? Thanks, Dan
