Answer 1

As the top answer suggests, using PHP's strtotime() function is the easiest way.

However, instead of using if statements as he suggests, you could simply reset back to the previous Sunday and grab the dates you require from there.

$monday = strtotime('next monday', strtotime('previous sunday'));
$friday = strtotime('next friday', strtotime('previous sunday'));
