PHP program to find number of days in every week between two given date ranges

To find number of days in every week between two given date ranges in PHP, the code is as follows −

Example

<?php
   $start = "11-11-2019";
   $end = "12-12-2019";
   $week_day = array('Monday' => 0,
   'Tuesday' => 0,
   'Wednesday' => 0,
   'Thursday' => 0,
   'Friday' => 0,
   'Saturday' => 0,
   'Sunday' => 0);
   $start = new DateTime($start);
   $end = new DateTime($end);
   while($start <= $end )
   {
      $time_stamp = strtotime($start->format('d-m-Y'));
      $week = date('l', $time_stamp);
      $week_day[$week] = $week_day[$week] + 1;
      $start->modify('+1 day');
   }
   print_r("The number of days between the given range is");
   print_r($week_day);
?>

Output

The number of days between the given range isArray
(
   [Monday] => 5
   [Tuesday] => 5
   [Wednesday] => 5
   [Thursday] => 5
   [Friday] => 4
   [Saturday] => 4
   [Sunday] => 4
)

Two dates of ‘DateTime’ type is defined and an array of days of a week is defined, where initially the count of all days of a week are 0. The dates are converted to a time format and timestamp variable is assigned to it. An array named ‘week_day’ is incremented and increments the days of the week based on how many times it has been encountered during the iteration.
