I have built a countdown timer on my site which counts down the days left until the listing expires so that the clients and designers have an efficient way of keeping track of a project. When the designers are not in the office on weekends is there any way that I would be able to stop the timer when the day is a weekend?

```
<?php
    //start date
    //end date
    //echo date('yy-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($data->created));
    $date2 = date('yy-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($data->created . '+ '. $days));
    //echo '<br>'. $date2;
    $date = gmdate('U', strtotime($date2));
    //echo '<br>'. $date;           
    //echo '<br>' .time();
    $remaining = $date - time();
    //echo '<br>r=' . $remaining ; //get_option('date_format');2020-04-27 14:58:28
    // Get difference between both dates without DST
    $diff = $date - gmdate('U');
    // Days (in last day it will be zero)
    $diff_days = floor($remaining / (24 * 60 * 60));
    // Hours (in the last hour will be zero)
    $diff_hours = floor($remaining % (24 * 60 * 60) / 3600);
    if( $remaining >= 0 )
    {
        $days_remaining = floor($remaining / 86400);
        $hours_remaining = floor(($remaining % 86400) / 3600);
        $minutes_remaining = floor(($remaining % 3600) / 60);
        /*make red on last day*/
        $style = '';
        if($days_remaining < 1 or $days_remaining == 1 && $hours_remaining == 0){
            $style = 'style="color:#fb3a5e;"';
            echo 'Today';
        }
        else
        {
            echo '<span '.$style.'>'. $diff_days .' days and '. $diff_hours .' hours left</span>';
        }
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'Expired.';
    }
?>

```
