since only the total number of saturdays/sundays is what he wants to
know, you can use some clever math. Basically, the amount of saturdays
in a year is:
floor(365 (+1 if it's a leap year) (-days from january first to first
saturday) / 7);
and sundays = saturdays (-1 if the modulo from the top one is 0)
I can't quickly come up with a way to find out what day in the first
month would be a saturday... but if you know that, then this should work
for you

You can have a simple for looping to do so.
<?php
// for example, 02/2005
$year = 2005;
$month = 02;
for ($i = 1; $i <= 31 ; $i++) {
if (checkdate($month,$i,$year)) {
if (date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$month,$i,$year)) == '0') // it is Sunday
echo $i . '/' . $month . '/' . $year . "\n";
if (date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$month,$i,$year)) == '6') // it is Saturday
echo $i . '/' . $month . '/' . $year . "\n";
}
}
/** Sample output:
5/2/2005
6/2/2005
12/2/2005
13/2/2005
19/2/2005
20/2/2005
26/2/2005
27/2/2005
**/
?>
hope this help!

Hi,
Is it possible to get the number of saturdays and sundays for a given
month / year?
Thanks for your help.
