Get date for monday and friday for the current week (PHP)

Question

How can I get the date for monday and friday for the current week?

I have the following code, but it fails if current day is sunday or saturday.

$cu         


        

Answer 1

I was looking for a similar thing, except I wanted any Monday, not just this week. This is what I came up with:

function getSunday(DateTime $date){
    $outdate = clone($date);
    $day = $date->format("w");  // get the weekday (sunday is 0)
    $outdate->sub(new DateInterval("P".$day."D")); // subtracting the weekday from the date always gives Sunday 
    return $outdate;
}

It accepts an arbitrary date and gives the Sunday. Then you can easily add back days to get Monday through Saturday.
