In the context of the forum thread, how can functions be effectively used to streamline and improve the selection process for weekdays and workdays?

The issue is that the selection process for weekdays and workdays can be time-consuming and error-prone if done manually. To streamline and improve this process, functions can be used to efficiently determine and categorize each day of the week as either a weekday or a workday.

function isWeekday($day) {
    $weekdays = array('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday');
    return in_array($day, $weekdays);
}

function isWorkday($day) {
    $workdays = array('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday');
    return in_array($day, $workdays);
}

// Example of how to use the functions
$day = 'Monday';
if(isWeekday($day)) {
    echo $day . ' is a weekday.';
} else {
    echo $day . ' is not a weekday.';
}

if(isWorkday($day)) {
    echo $day . ' is a workday.';
} else {
    echo $day . ' is not a workday.';
}
