You can simply this greatly using basic math.

Each Month number minus 1 % 3 will tell how many months you are offset from the current quarter..

/**
 * @param DateTime $date
 * @return array
 */
function getQuarterRangeFromDate(DateTime $date)
{

    // Clone the date to avoid modifying your date in current context
    $quarter_start = clone($date);

    // Find the offset of months
    $months_offset = ($date->format('m') - 1) % 3;


    // Modify quarter date
    $quarter_start->modify(" - " . $months_offset . " month")
        ->modify("first day of this month");


    $quarter_end = clone($quarter_start);
    $quarter_end->modify("+ 3 month");

    return [$quarter_start, $quarter_end];
}
