I just subtracted the difference from 8 an added it to the days.

if(date('N', strtotime($date)) >= 6) {
        $n = (8 - date("N",strtotime($date)));
        $date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+".$n." days");
}

For sundays date('w',$date) will return 0, so the simplest test code is:

if(!date('w',strtotime($date)) { ... } //sunday

In a single line of code:

if (date('N', $date) > 5) $nextweekday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("next Monday", $date));

If the day of week has a value greater than 5 (Monday = 1, Sat is 6 and Sun is 7) set $nextweekday to the YYYY-MM-DD value of the following Monday.

Editing to add, because the date format may not be accepted, you would need to reformat the date first. Add the following lines above my code:

$pieces = explode('-', $date);
$date = $pieces[0].'-'.$pieces[2].'-'.$pieces[1];

This will put the date in Y-m-d order so that strtotime can recognize it.

$date = '2011-21-12'
$stamp = strtotime($date);
$day = date("l", $stamp);
if ($day == "Saturday"){
    $stamp = $stamp + (2*+86400);
}elseif($day == "Sunday"){
    $stamp = $stamp + 86400;
}
echo date("Y-d-m", $stamp);

The only reason i can think why this wouldnt work is strtotime not recognising that data format...

The DateTime object can be really helpful for anything like this. In this case.

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-d-m', '2011-21-12');
if ($date->format('l') == 'Sunday')
    $date->modify('+1 day');
elseif ($date->format('l') == 'Saturday')
    $date->modify('+2 days');

If you want to get the date back in that format.

$date = $date->format('Y-d-m');

What about this:

$date='2011-21-12';

if (date("D", strtotime($date)) == "Sat"){
   $new_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+ 2 days",$date);
}

else if (date("D", strtotime($date)) == "Sun"){
   $new_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+ 1 day",$date);
}

You can use the date and strtotime functions for this, like so:

$date = strtotime('2011-12-21');
$is_saturday = date('l', $date) == 'Saturday';
$is_sunday = date('l', $date) == 'Sunday';

if($is_saturday) {
    $date = strtotime('+2 days', $date);
} else if($is_sunday) {
    $date = strtotime('+1 days', $date);
}

echo 'Date is now ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date);
