Answer 1

You should try with strftime

$week_start = new DateTime();
$week = strftime("%U");  //this gets you the week number starting Sunday
$week_start->setISODate(2012,$week,0); //return the first day of the week with offset 0
echo $week_start -> format('d-M-Y'); //and just prints with formatting
