PHP: How to count how many times a specific day is between two days?

I need to count how many times some specific days appears between two given dates. For example, I need to know how many Tuesday are between 01/03/2010 12:12:55 and 06/04/2011 16:55:20.

So far, I can calculate the number of days (all days) between to dates with this (The dates are given in d/m/Y g:i:s format):

<?php
  function calculateDiffTime($startDate, $endDate = false)
  {
    $startDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y g:i:s', $startDate);
    $endDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y g:i:s', $endDate);

    // Calculando la diferencia entre las dos fechas.
    $interval = $startDate->diff($endDate);

    return $interval->format('%a days'); // Return '# days'
  }
?>

What I want to do is calculate the difference between the total of days (the result of the function above) and the number of times the specific day (s) appears.
