If you truly want only business days - i.e. you don't want to count
Holidays - the only solution is to have a tables with all the business days.
You'd populate this periodically with future dates as required, and a human
may be required to mark off the holidays (unless you can create an algorithm

Hello
This is not correct, see this at example:
From friday to mondey there are 4 days (or 3, depends on how you count ;-).
your calcs:
$day = 4
$weeks = 4 / 7 = 0
$weekend_day = 0 * 2 = 0
$business_days = 4 - 0 = 4
If you have 100 weeks, then it will be quite correct.
here is my solution:
$day

Here's some ropey perl I wrote a ages back to calculate workin
Here's a link to a solution that Oracle came up with:
http://dco-proxima.dco.pima.edu/oracle/tfts/PRE00136.HTM
You should be able to adapt it to MySQL and PHP (or whatever language
you are using).
Basically, the script gets the start date and end date, then steps
through every day counting only b
I'm not sure of an exact query, but if you can get the total number of days
you can mathmatically get the biz days with the following math (in psuedo
code):
$days = total_days_between_a_and_b;
$weeks = ($days / 7);
$weekend_days = $weeks * 2;
$business_days = ($days - $weekend_days);
Hope this he
