Perhaps you are trying to count business days? Those vary around the
world and you would certainly need a table to hold the holidays and
such. If you just want to count the number of non-weekend-days, then
get the interval as days and then it's a simple matter of math:
2*daysInterval/7+(daysInterval % 7 == 6 ? 1 : 0)
This holds assuming you are using dates and not timestamps- you may
wish to subtract 1 depending on what the dates represent.
