Check weekend between 2 dates

PHP
1

Hi All,

Please help me on below logic. For example I have 2 dates

$date1 =‘2015-06-12 08:00:00’;
$date2 =‘2015-06-22 08:00:00’;

What I need:

If (Wednesday is occurring during above dates)
{
// do something
}

Thanks in advance

Regards

<?php
$date1 = new DateTime('2015-06-08 08:00:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2015-06-12 08:00:00');

$first_date = $date1->format("w");
$second_date = $date2->format('w');

if ( $first_date <= 3  &&  $second_date >= 3 ) {
    echo "Wednesday occurs between " . $date1->format("l, F j, Y") . ' and ' . $date2->format("l, F j, Y") . "\n";
} else {
    echo "Wednesday doesn't occurs between " . $date1->format("l, F j, Y") . ' and ' . $date2->format("l, F j, Y") . "\n";
}

So lets talk mathematically.

If date 1 and date 2 are 7 or more days apart, there is guaranteed to be a wednesday between them. (Unless the world suddenly decides to skip a wednesday)
Otherwise:
If Date1.DayOfWeek → Date2.DayOfWeek Contains ‘3’, there is a wednesday.

My impulse is to say: You already have days_diff defined (to check the first condition), so… the range(Date1.DayOfWeek, Date1.DayOfWeek + Days_Diff), array_mapped to %7, and then in_array check.

This code doesnt work if date 2 is on a monday and date1 is on a tuesday…

Same logic as the Wednesday, except search for 5 or 6, and instead of 7 days being a guaranteed hit, it’s 6.

slight correction; it would be better to array_walk instead of array_map; though the two are nearly interchangeable.

(I got bored.)

<?php
$date1 =new DateTime('2015-06-12 08:00:00');
$date2 =new DateTime('2015-06-16 08:00:00');
$diff =  date_diff($date1,$date2);
if($diff->days >= 6) { //Mathematically, there will ALWAYS be either a Friday or Saturday in any given span of 6 consecutive days.
  //Warkwark
} else {
  $range = range($date1->format("w"),$date1->format("w") + $diff->days); // [5,6,7,8,9]
  array_walk($range, function(&$a,$b) { $a = $a % 7; }); // [5,6,0,1,2]
  if(in_array(5,$range) || in_array(6,$range)) { // 5 for Friday, 6 for Saturday.
    //Warkwark
  }
}
