Answer 1

Please use the following function for your solution,

 function daycount($day, $startdate, $lastdate, $counter=0)
    {
        if($startdate >= $lastdate)
        {
            return $counter;
        }
        else
        {
            return daycount($day, strtotime("next ".$day, $startdate), ++$counter);
        }
    }

$start_date = "2013-05-01";
$last_date = "2013-08-30";

echo "Tuesday Count - ".daycount("tuesday", strtotime($start_date), strtotime($last_date));
echo "
";
echo "Thursday Count - ".daycount("thursday", strtotime($start_date), strtotime($last_date));
