I have a startdate, let's say this is $startDate = 2012-08-01;
and I have a variable that stores an INT value, lets say this is $value = 10;
I would like to calculate what the date would be from startdate + 10 days and skip weekends.
Using the above values the result would be 2012-08-15
How would this be done?
This is far from efficient, but who cares about that right when it is readable? :)
DEMO
What happens should be pretty easy to follow. First we create a new
DateTime
object using the date provided by the user. After that we are looping through the days we want to add to the date. When we hit a day in the weekend we don't subtract a day from the days we want to add to the date.
