Business hours calculation using PHP

By


Most of ticketing alert projects needed SLA calculation to exclude holidays and weekends or Off business hours.
First of all, let us take a look at types of SLA we need to calculate.
For instance, few companies will work 24/7 shifts and 8x5, 8x7 etc.

So we need to consider business hours. In this example, I'm considering business hours which starts at 09:00 AM and ends at 06:00 PM. Also, using this code we can calculate 24/7 too.

Let's consider business hours started at 9:00 AM to 18:00 PM without weekends.

Now, take the actual work start period and end period.
                                                     Demo

 <?php 
 $incident_work_started = '2018-09-12 09:28:07';
 $incident_work_ended = '2018-09-19 17:45:00';
 $totalHours = round(get_working_hours($incident_work_started,$incident_work_ended),2)."\n";
 echo "Total hours: ".$totalHours;
 function get_working_hours($work_started,$work_ended)
 {
 // business  hours start at 9:00 AM to 18:00. Consider that in an array [hrs,mins]
 $buss_start = array(9,00); // hours, minutes
 $buss_end = array(18,00); // hours, minutes
 
 // Convert $work_started and $work_ended date into date object.
 // Reason to converting, To get difference of time "2018-09-12 09:28:00" to "2018-09-12 09:00:00". here will get 28 mins 
 $work_started_date_obj = date_create($work_started); // Date will converted to date object
 $work_ended_date_obj = date_create($work_ended); // Date will converted to date object
 
 //Now, set $work_started to $buss_start to get difference
 $ini_buss_start_time = date_time_set(date_create($work_started),$buss_start[0],$buss_start[1]); // "2018-09-12 09:28:00" to "2018-09-12 09:00:00"
 $ini_buss_end_time = date_time_set(date_create($work_ended),$buss_end[0],$buss_end[1]); // "2018-09-19 17:45:00" to "2018-09-19 18:00:00"
 
 // To get actual working days and skip weekends(Sat & Sun) and holidays.
 $actual_worked_days = get_workdays($work_started_date_obj,$work_ended_date_obj); 
 $actual_worked_days_count = count($actual_worked_days); 
 
 // convert business hours to seconds for calculating time difference
  $workday_seconds = (($buss_end[0] * 60 + $buss_end[1]) - ($buss_start[0] * 60 + $buss_start[1])) * 60;
 
 //echo $current->format('U')."";
 //echo date('Y/m/d H:i:s', $current->format('U'))."";
 
 //get time difference
  $ini_seconds = 0;
 $end_seconds = 0;
 
   if(in_array($work_started_date_obj->format('Y-m-d'),$actual_worked_days))
 {
  $ini_seconds = $work_started_date_obj->format('U') - $ini_buss_start_time->format('U');
  /* we will get 1687 seconds, beacuase we given date "2018-09-12 09:28:07" our business 
  hours start at 9:00:00 (h:m:s) so need take seconds from 9:00:00. Finally we get seconds
  of 9:00:00 to 09:28:07 is  1687. */
 } 
 
    if(in_array($work_ended_date_obj->format('Y-m-d'),$actual_worked_days))
 {
  $end_seconds = $ini_buss_end_time->format('U') - $work_ended_date_obj->format('U');
 } 
 
 
  $seconds_dif = $ini_seconds > 0 ? $ini_seconds : 0;
  
  if($end_seconds > 0)
  {
   $seconds_dif += $end_seconds;
  }
 
 /* Final Calculation, Hence we got total number of working days $actual_worked_days_count and $workday_seconds.
  business  start at 9:00:00 AM but here work started at 9:28:07 
  so we should subtraction the 28:07 (m:s) total 1687 seconds and business  ends at 18:00:00
  but here work closed at 17:45:00 then subtraction will get (15:00) total 900 seconds. so total 2587 seconds. */
 
 $working_seconds = ($actual_worked_days_count * $workday_seconds) - $seconds_dif; 
 /* here we get total number of working day seconds ($actual_worked_days_count * $workday_seconds)
  and subtraction none used seconds $seconds_dif will get actual working seconds. */

 echo 'Working Hours:'.($working_seconds / 3600)."\n";
 
    return $working_seconds / 3600; //return hrs 
 
 }
 
 
function get_workdays($work_started,$work_ended)
{
 //To skip saturday and sunday weekends
 $weekdays = [0,6]; // sunday:0 monday:1...saturday:6;
 $holidays = []; //eg: ['2018-12-25']; for public holidays
 
 $current = clone $work_started; // Clone is used to load date objects.
 
 // Get date format from $work_started and end date
 $start_date = $work_started->format('Y-m-d');
 $end_date = $work_ended->format('Y-m-d');
 
 // To store valid working days after avoid weekends and holidays
  $days_arr = [];
  
 //So we have $start_date, $end_date, $weekdays and $holidays. We need to take work dates between all these days.
 
 while($start_date <= $end_date){
        if(!in_array($current->format('w'),$weekdays) && !in_array($start_date,$holidays)){
            $days_arr[] = $start_date;
        }
        $current->add(new DateInterval('P1D')); //adds one day
        $start_date = $current->format('Y-m-d');
    }
    return $days_arr; // return the valid worked days 
}
?>

React Advanced JSX

By
 class vs className This lesson will cover more advanced JSX. You’ll learn some powerful tricks and some common errors to avoid. Grammar in JSX is mostly the same as in HTML, but there are subtle differences to watch out for. The most frequent of these involves the word class. In HTML, it’s common to use class as an attribute name: <h1 class = "big" > Title </h1> In JSX, you can’t use the word  class ! You have to use  className  instead: <h1 className = "big" > Title </h1> This is because JSX gets translated into JavaScript, and  class  is a reserved word in JavaScript. When JSX is  rendered , JSX  className  attributes are automatically rendered as  class  attributes. Self-Closing Tags Another common JSX error involves  self-closing tags . What’s a self-closing tag? Most HTML elements use two tags: an  opening tag  ( <div> ), and a  closing tag  ( </div> ). However, som...
