	$x = floor(($end-$start)/604800);
	$sum = 0;
	for ($day = 0;$day < 7;++$day) {

    //Create a DateTime object for the first date.
    $firstDate = new DateTime($dateOne);
    //Create a DateTime object for the second date.
    $secondDate = new DateTime($dateTwo);
    //Get the difference between the two dates in days.
    $differenceInDays = $firstDate->diff($secondDate)->days;
    //Divide the days by 7
    $differenceInWeeks = $differenceInDays / 7;
    //Round down with floor and return the difference in weeks.
    return floor($differenceInWeeks);
}

$numOfWeek = numWeeks('2021-01-21', '2021-01-28');
