This is what i tried:

$date1 = date_create('2015-06-03');
$date2 = date_create('2015-06-11');
$diff = $date2->diff($date1)->format("%a");
echo $diff;

This returns me the number: 8 . I want to get the number of days between two dates, excluding Saturdays and Sundays and including the start date and end date. How can I do that? So in my case the result should be 7.

Thx but, what is P1D ? – Jozsef Naghi May 21 '15 at 12:15
As you can read here: http://php.net/manual/en/dateinterval.construct.php `P` should be the first letter of the parameter and `1D` means "1 days". – Ofir Baruch May 21 '15 at 12:20
