Carbon add number of days excluding weekends and custom dates

I don't think Carbon has what your asking for.

I set up a test route and this is my result for what your asking for.


Route::get('/testcarbon', function() {

    // a couple of holidays as timestamps
    $holidays[] = strtotime("01/23/15");
    $holidays[] = strtotime("01/28/15");

    var_dump($holidays);

    // test date
    $date = "01/21/15";

    // convert to carbon
    $MyDateCarbon = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date);
    echo "entered date : " . $MyDateCarbon->timestamp . ' - ' . $MyDateCarbon->toRfc2822String(). '<BR>';

    // add three days to selected date
    $MyDateCarbon->addDays(3);
    echo "query date : " .  $MyDateCarbon->timestamp . ' - ' .($MyDateCarbon->toRfc2822String()). '<BR>';

    while (true) {

        // verify date,  not in holiday and is not weekend
        if (in_array($MyDateCarbon->timestamp, $holidays) || $MyDateCarbon->isWeekend()) {

            echo "-- is holiday or weekend ". $MyDateCarbon->toRfc2822String() . " <BR>";

            // the day is either in the holidays array or is a weekend
            // add one day
            $MyDateCarbon->addDay();
        } else {
            // ok, day should be good, exit while
            break;
        }

    }

    echo "final date: " . $MyDateCarbon->toRfc2822String(). '<BR>';

    echo "<hr>done";

});

Hope that helps

$holidays = ["2015-01-01", "2015-01-02"]; $date = "12/31/14"; $MyDateCarbon = Carbon::parse($date); $MyDateCarbon->addWeekdays(3); for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++;) { if (in_array(Carbon::parse($date)->addWeekdays($i)->toDateString(), $holidays)) { $MyDateCarbon->addDay(); } } dd($MyDateCarbon);
