I have a problem with my function, what it does is, see if a date fell on Saturday or Sunday if so, add a day until the day is not Saturday not Sunday, it is supposed that it should return the correct date.
For example, I am entering the date 2021-03-20 and it returns the date of 2021-03-21, when 2021-03-22 should return.
I do not know what is happening here I leave my function:

enter code here



private function isWeekend($date) {

    // Convert string to time

    // Get day name from the date

    $dt2 = date("l", strtotime($date));

    // Convert day name to lower case

    $dt3 = strtolower($dt2);

    $date_ = $date;

    // Check if day name is "saturday" or "sunday"

        if(($dt3 == "saturday" ) || ($dt3 == "sunday")) {

            // If the date is weekend then

            $date_ = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date."+ 1 days"));

            $this->isWeekend($date_);

        }

    return $date_;

}

My Answer:
function getDayOfWeek($date) {
$day = date('l', strtotime($date));

if($day == 'Sunday' || $day == 'Saturday') {
return getDayOfWeek(date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date . ' +1 day')));
} else {
return $day;
}
}

$date = '2022-01-01';
echo getDayOfWeek($date);
?>
