This is a little function that returns only a working day (monday until friday). It's flexible due to the use of a 'forbidden days' array. I used this in a project where the delivery date can only be 10 days from now and only on a working day (mo - fr). <?php function wdays($strTime = NULL){ $arrWeekend = array("6","7"); // saturday and sunday $strTime = (is_null($strTime)) ? strtotime("+10 days") : $strTime; if(in_array(date("N", $strTime), $arrWeekend)){ return wdays(strtotime("+1 day", $strTime)); } else { return $strTime; } } echo date("d-m-Y",wdays()); ?> --was-- This is a little function that returns only a working day (monday until friday).
