php first and last weekday (workable Mon-Fri) of month using simple strtotime

Question

Solved! i leave it here for you.

This two lines of code are ok for the first workable day:

date('d-m-Y',strtotime('+0 weekdays October 2016'))

Returns : 3-10-2016 --> OK

date('d-m-Y', strtotime('weekday february 2016'))

Returns : 1-2-2016 --> OK

The last workable day of a given month and year:

$year=2016;
$month='october';
$lastworkable=date('d-m-Y', strtotime('last weekday '.date("F Y", strtotime('next month '.$month.' '.$year))));

Returns : 29-07-2016 for july --> OK

Yes, given a month and year i need the last weekday, example october 2016 would be 31. July 2016 would be 25. Thanks — Jonathan Orrego, Jul 21 '16 at 16:07
Why weekday? do `date('d-m-Y',strtotime('last day of october 2016'));` — JustOnUnderMillions, Jul 21 '16 at 16:09
Isn't the last weekday in July 2016 the 29th? Maybe we mean something different by "weekday". — Don't Panic, Jul 21 '16 at 16:30
just edited the original question to be more specific, i need the workable day — Jonathan Orrego, Jul 21 '16 at 16:59

`last weekday of october` points out that monday is needed? really? – JustOnUnderMillions Jul 21 '16 at 16:16
And just to make angry :) `php first and last weekday of month using simple strtotime` isnt ansered fully ;) – JustOnUnderMillions Jul 21 '16 at 16:18
Sorry "I'm Back"... i dont need the last monday, i need the last workable day (Mon-Fri)... but "last weekday of October 2016" doents works, it gives me an error and "last weekday October 2016" gives me 30 Septembrer. Your code will not work in april. – Jonathan Orrego Jul 21 '16 at 16:54
Just edited the original question to be more specific with a couple of examples, i need the workable day – Jonathan Orrego Jul 21 '16 at 17:00
Thanks a lot for your time, i solved the problem and updated the original question with the answer, that code will give the first and last workable day of a given month and year. – Jonathan Orrego Jul 21 '16 at 17:23

And if you dont want to use strtotime, maybe to avoid the 2038 Bug (https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.strtotime.php#refsect1-function.strtotime-notes) you can use the following code.

(new DateTime('first day of next month'))->modify('last weekday') will give you the last weekday of the actual month.
