Answer 1

The best way is to iterate through all dates in between the given date range, and get the day of week for each date. If it's a week day, increment a certain counter. At the end of the process you get the number of weekdays.

The PHP functions mktime() and date() (for working with UNIX timestamps) are your friends here.
