Print Y-m-d list of business dates between two dates from MySQL using PHP

Question

I have this MySQL table:

desc studentabsence;
+---------------------------+-------------+
| Field                     | Type        |
+-------------         


        

Answer 1

This will print the range of dates:

$startDate = '2012-08-01';
$endDate = '2012-08-08';

$date = new DateTime($startDate);
while ($date->format('Y-m-d') != $endDate) {

    if ($date->format('N') > 5) {
        $date->modify('+1 day');
        continue;
    }

    echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
    $date->modify('+1 day');
}
echo $endDate;
