Simple example:

define('DATE_FORMAT', 'Y-m-d');

function get_start_and_end_date($case) {
    $start = 'first day of ';
    $end = 'last day of ';

    if ($case == 'this_quarter') {
        $case = 'quarter_' . ceil((new DateTime)->format('n') / 3);
    }

    switch ($case) {
        case 'prev_month'    : $start .= 'previous month'; $end .= 'previous month'; break;
        default              :
        case 'this_month'    : $start .= 'this month';     $end .= 'this month';     break;
        case 'next_month'    : $start .= 'next month';     $end .= 'next month';     break;
        case 'first_quarter' :
        case 'quarter_1'     : $start .= 'January';        $end .= 'March';          break;
        case 'quarter_2'     : $start .= 'April';          $end .= 'June';           break;
        case 'quarter_3'     : $start .= 'July';           $end .= 'September';      break;
        case 'last_quarter'  :
        case 'quarter_4'     : $start .= 'October';        $end .= 'December';       break;
    }

    return [
        'start' => (new DateTime($start))->format(DATE_FORMAT),
        'end' => (new DateTime($end))->format(DATE_FORMAT),
    ];
}
