Hi all - I've adapted & made some basic code to forecast a delivery date for my customers but needs a little refinement - can you help?

Goals & Rules
> All Sat, All Sunday & Friday after 2pm = orders will arrive Tuesday (shipped Monday and Arrive Tuesday)
> Monday - Friday orders before 2pm will arrive the next day (posted on 'd' arrive d+1 includes Sat).
> Monday - Thursday orders after 2pm will arrive in 2 days (posted on 'd+1' and arrive d+2)
 

Feature to be added

> Bank Holidays (enter an array of all bank holiday dates upfront which will extend the delivery as per the above rules)

> My current server time does not seem to recoginse changes in GMT & BST. So, when the UK is in GMT its fine (2pm = 2pm) but when we move to BST the time is 3pm but the code is reading 2pm as server looks like its still in GMT. How can this be set automatically to the correct time in the UK without editing the code for BST / GMT every time.

Code so Far 

	  if(preg_match('%(Sat|Sun)%', date('D'))){
    $next_working_day = date('D dS M', strtotime('next Tuesday'));
}
	  else{
if (date('H') < 14) {
		  $next_working_day = date('D dS M', strtotime('+1 day'));
}
/* --for late friday orders going Mon-- */ 		  
		  else{
	  if(preg_match('%(Fri)%', date('D'))){

			  $next_working_day = date('D dS M', strtotime('next Tuesday'));
	  }
			  else {$next_working_day = date('D dS M', strtotime('+2 day'));}
	}
	  }		
			  echo $next_working_day;
			  print '</strong></p><hr>';
  }

Check your default timezone setting in your php.ini file. Sounds like it's set to UTC or GMT instead of Europe/London.

You can check with 

echo date_default_timezone_get();


  

$now = new DateTime();

// using default timezone
echo $now->format('H:i:s T') . '<br>';       // 17:05:29 BST    

$now->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $now->format('H:i:s T') . '<br>';       // 16:05:29 UTC

No need to do that when you can calculate them... 

function bankHols($yr)
{
    // CALC PUBLIC HOLS FOR $yr
    $hols = array();
    $newyr = "$yr-01-01";
    switch (date('w', strtotime($newyr))) {
        case 6:
            $newyr = "{$yr}-01-03";
            break;
        case 0:
            $newyr = "{$yr}-01-02";
            break;
    }
    $hols['New Year'] = $newyr;
    
    $easter = easter_date($yr);
    $hols['Easter'] = array(date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-2 days', $easter)),
                date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 days', $easter)));
                
    $mayday = (new DateTime("first monday of may $yr"))->format('Y-m-d');
    $hols['May Day'] = $mayday;
    
    $sbank = (new DateTime("last monday of may $yr"))->format('Y-m-d');
    $hols['Spring Bank'] = $sbank;
    
    $abank = (new DateTime("last monday of august $yr"))->format('Y-m-d');
    $hols['August Bank'] = $abank;
    
    $x1 = "$yr-12-25";
    $x2 = "$yr-12-26";
    switch (date('w', strtotime($x1))) {
        case 5:
            $x2 = "$yr-12-28";
            break;
        case 6:
            $x1 = "$yr-12-27";
            $x2 = "$yr-12-28";
            break;
        case 0:
            $x1 = "$yr-12-26";
            $x2 = "$yr-12-27";
            break;
    }
    $hols['Christmas'] = array($x1,$x2);
    
    return $hols;
}

$holidays = bankHols(2021);

I'd revise the function so it just gave a plain array of dates, then nudge the delivery by a day if the due date is the holiday array.

So array is ... 

Array
(
    [0] => 2021-01-01
    [1] => 2021-04-02
    [2] => 2021-04-05
    [3] => 2021-05-03
    [4] => 2021-05-31
    [5] => 2021-08-30
    [6] => 2021-12-25
    [7] => 2021-12-26
    [8] => 2021-12-27
    [9] => 2021-12-28
)

My solution: (If you don't want to be spoon-fed, ignore) 

$hols = bankHols(date('Y'));
$test_dates = [ '2021-08-30 14:00', 
                '2021-08-30 14:01',
                '2021-08-31 14:00',
                '2021-08-31 14:01',
                '2021-09-01 14:00',
                '2021-09-01 14:01',
                '2021-09-02 14:00',
                '2021-09-02 14:01',
                '2021-09-03 14:00',

                '2021-09-04 14:01',
                '2021-09-05 14:00',
                '2021-09-05 14:01',

Be aware that on Friday 3 June, 2022 there is an extra "Jubilee" bank holiday for that year only and the May 30 (Monday) spring bank holiday moves to the following Thursday (June 2).

After the line $hols = bankHols(date('Y')); add 

    // Adjust for 2022 only
    $spring = array_search('2022-05-30', $hols);
    if ($spring) {
        $hols[$spring] = '2022-06-02';    // revise date
        $hols[] = '2022-06-03';           // add Jubilee hol
    }

hi there - after a few hours of trying tonight I am struggling to integrate the code for my final result of outputting the code as

Add to Basket now for FREE Delivery to you (est.) : Fri 03rd Sep

So i assume I dont need the 'test dates' var and I can instead use the $dates but I'm missing something to link them together as below it outputs

Add to Basket now for FREE Delivery to you (est.) :           (<-nothing returned) 

$hols = bankHols(date('Y'));
 
foreach ($dates as $d) {
    $ordered = new dateTime($d);
    $del = deliveryDate($ordered, $hols);
}

function deliveryDate($ordered, $hols)
{
    $delivery = clone $ordered;

    if ($delivery->format('H:i') > '14:00') {                   // if it's after 2pm. treat is as the next day
        $delivery->modify('+1 day');
    }
    if (in_array($delivery->format('w'), [0,6])) {              // if it's Sat or Sun, treat it as Monday
        $delivery->modify('next monday');
    }
    do {                                                        // add a day for delivery until the date isn't a holiday.
        $delivery->modify('+1 day');
    } while (in_array($delivery->format('Y-m-d'), $hols));
    
    return $delivery;
}
 
function bankHols($yr)
{
    // CALC PUBLIC HOLS FOR $yr
    $dates = array();
    $newyr = "$yr-01-01";
    switch (date('w', strtotime($newyr))) {
        case 6:
            $newyr = "{$yr}-01-03";
            break;
        case 0:
            $newyr = "{$yr}-01-02";
            break;
    }
    $dates[] = $newyr;
    
    $easter = easter_date($yr);
    array_push($dates, date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-2 days', $easter)),  date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+1 days', $easter)));
               
    $mayday = (new DateTime("first monday of may $yr"))->format('Y-m-d');
    $dates[] = $mayday;
    
    $sbank = (new DateTime("last monday of may $yr"))->format('Y-m-d');
    $dates[] = $sbank;
    
    $abank = (new DateTime("last monday of august $yr"))->format('Y-m-d');
    $dates[] = $abank;
    
    $x1 = "$yr-12-25";
    $x2 = "$yr-12-26";
    array_push($dates, $x1, $x2);
    switch (date('w', strtotime($x1))) {
        case 5:
            $x2 = "$yr-12-28";
            break;
        case 6:
            $x1 = "$yr-12-27";
            $x2 = "$yr-12-28";
            break;
        case 0:
            $x1 = "$yr-12-26";
            $x2 = "$yr-12-27";
            break;
    }
    array_push($dates, $x1, $x2);
    
    return $dates;
}

echo 'Add to Basket now for FREE Delivery to you (est.) : ' . $delivery ;
