Answer 2

// Convert total days into a human‑readable "X weeks and Y days" string
function toReadableWeeksDays(int $totalDays): string {
    $weeks = intdiv($totalDays, 7);   // whole weeks
    $days  = $totalDays % 7;          // leftover days

    return sprintf(
        "%d week%s and %d day%s",
        $weeks,
        $weeks === 1 ? "" : "s",
        $days,
        $days === 1 ? "" : "s"
    );
}

$days = 26;

echo toReadableWeeksDays($days) . PHP_EOL;




/*

3 weeks and 5 days
