Calculate working days between dates

Dec 4th, 2007

Hi,

I need to calculate the number of working days between 2 dates entered in a page using PHP. The dates and the calculated number then need to be put into a MySQL database.

I am new to PHP, but understand the linking to the database and basic fnctions within PHP. Unfortunately I'm struggling with the calculation of the working days between dates.

Any help will be appreciated!
Thank You!

Steve
