Days are not always 24-hours long. – Basil Bourque Mar 14 '18 at 23:16

Can not understand your question clearly.. I suggest a solution based on my understanding... You should create a hash that map a weekday with a number, example:

{
    Sun => 0,
    Mon => 1,
    ...
    Sat => 6
}

Then get the MIN absolute value of current day with the list of your random weekdays.

Try this function:

echo nearestWeekend( '26-12-2015' );

function nearestWeekend( $date ){
    $date = date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date . '+1 day'));
    while( !preg_match('/Sunday|Saturday/i' , date('l', strtotime($date)) ) ){
        $date = date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date . '+1 day'));
    }
    return date('d-m-Y', strtotime($date));
}

Get date of next nearest weekday from today
