What this code does:

1. Creates a starting date object using DateTime.
2. Creates a starting date object using DateTime.
3. Creates a DateInterval object to represent our interval of time to iterate through. In this case 1 day.
4. Creates a DatePeriod object to manage these objects.
5. Using DatePeriod, it iterates through the date starting with the starting date and ending at the end date. We use DateTime::format() with the N parameter to get the day number of the week. If the day number of the week is 2 (Tuesday) or 4 (Thursday) echo out it's value.
