Answer 1

Just wanted to point SynaTree's solution doesn't work for every last 3rd month in quarter.

Here's a modified solution using DateTime.

$now = new DateTimeImmutable();
$offset = ($now->format('n') - 1) % 3;
$start = $now->modify("first day of -{$offset} month midnight");
$endExcluded = $start->modify("+3 month");
$endIncluded = $start->modify("+3 month -1 second");

$endExcluded works well when for DatePeriod loops, where the end date is excluded when time is 00:00:00.
