I find functions which return the week number for a given date. But instead, I would like to get the date of the first day of the particular calendar week returned. This would either be date() itself, or anything between date()-1 and date()-7.
Purpose: my site shall return events of this week. Right now, I only show the the range date()+7, which is not correct.
Thanks & Regards, Marcus
Use strtotime() function like this:
strtotime("next monday");
strtotime("this sunday");
strtotime("last sunday");
In your case:
strtotime("this monday");
As a result you have timestamp.
The second way is like this:
$day = date('w');
$week_start = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('-'.$day.' days'));
$week_end = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('+'.(6-$day).' days'));
