php - from array output date from monday to friday

Solution:

You could just create a loop, strip out the unwanted items, and build a new array .. Probably the easiest like so ..

<?php
$old_array = array();

$old_array[0] = "Mi 06.01.";
$old_array[1] = "Do 06.01.";
$old_array[2] = "Fr 06.01.";
$old_array[3] = "Mi 06.01.";
$old_array[4] = "Mo 06.01.";




$new_array = array();
foreach ($old_array as $item){
    if (strpos($item, 'Mo') !== false || // Checks if $item conains "Mo" 
        strpos($item, 'Mi') !== false) { // Checks if $item conains "Mi" 
        // push to new array
        array_push($new_array ,$item);
    }
}
print_r($new_array);
Copy code

$new_array output:

Array
(
    [0] => Mi 06.01.
    [1] => Mi 06.01.
    [2] => Mo 06.01.
)
Copy code

It will be slightly labor intensive -- But really it's the easiest way to accomplish it. To get your "range" you can create a function with a "start" and "end" and compare that way, andreturn your range as a string or array etc etc ..

<?php
$old_array = array();

$old_array[0]= "Mi 06.01.";
$old_array[1]= "Do 07.01.";
$old_array[2]= "Fr 08.01.";
$old_array[3]= "Mo 11.01.";
$old_array[4]= "Di 12.01.";
$old_array[5]= "Mi 13.01.";
$old_array[6]= "Do 14.01.";
$old_array[7]= "Fr 15.01.";
$old_array[8]= "Mo 18.01.";
$old_array[9]= "Di 19.01.";
$old_array[10]= "Mi 20.01.";
$old_array[11]= "Do 21.01.";
$old_array[12]= "Fr 22.01.";
$old_array[13]= "Mo 25.01.";
$old_array[14]= "Di 26.01.";
$old_array[15]= "Mi 27.01.";
$old_array[16]= "Do 28.01.";
$old_array[17]= "Fr 29.01.";


$start_day = "Mi 06.01.";
$end_day = "Fr 08.01.";

$new_array = makeNewArray($old_array, $start_day, $end_day);
print_r( $new_array );



function makeNewArray($old_array, $start_day, $end_day){
    $new_array = array();
    foreach ($old_array as $item){
        if ($start_day == $item){
            $new_array['start'] = $item;
        }
        if ($end_day == $item){
            $new_array['end'] = $item;
        }
    }
    return $new_array;
}
Copy code

Output:

Array
(
    [start] => Mi 06.01.
    [end] => Fr 08.01.
)
Start = Mi 06.01.
End = Fr 08.01.
