Answer 1

function getDates( $passedDate = '' ) {
    if( $passedDate == '' ) {
        $v = ceil( date( "m" ) / 3 );
        $y = date( "Y" );
    } else {
        $v = ceil( $month / 3 );
        $y = date( "Y", strtotime( $passedDate ) );
    }
    $y = date( "Y" );
    $m = ( $v * 3 ) - 2;
    $date = $y . '-' . $m . '-' . 01;
    $return['begin'] = date( "Y-m-d", strtotime(  $date ) );
    $return['end'] = date( "Y-m-t", strtotime( $return['begin'] . "+ 2 months"  ) );
    $return['version'] = $y . 'Q' . ceil( date( "m" ) / 4 );
    return $return;
}

This Function will return starting and end date and quarter for current date by default, however if you want it for particular date just pass month to it.
