Q:

Given two dates what is the best way of finding the number of weekdays in PHP?

The title is pretty much self explanatory. Given two dates what is the best way of finding the number of week days using PHP? Week days being Monday to Friday.
For instance, how would I find out that there are 10 week days in between 31/08/2008 and 13/09/2008?

A:

        $datefrom = strtotime($datefrom, 0);
        $dateto = strtotime($dateto, 0);

        $difference = $dateto - $datefrom;

        $days_difference = floor($difference / 86400);
        $weeks_difference = floor($days_difference / 7); // Complete weeks

        $first_day = date("w", $datefrom);
        $days_remainder = floor($days_difference % 7);

        $odd_days = $first_day + $days_remainder; // Do we have a Saturday or Sunday in the remainder?
        if ($odd_days > 7) { // Sunday
            $days_remainder--;
        }
        if ($odd_days > 6) { // Saturday
            $days_remainder--;
        }

        $datediff = ($weeks_difference * 5) + $days_remainder;
