get startdate and enddate for current quarter php

Question

I am trying to set a start date and end date by the quarter.

For example, I am working on a reporting system where i need to report data for quarter 1, quarter 2, qu

Answer 1

A simpler way to get the start/end of the current quarter in dates:

$qtr_start = date("Y-".(ceil(date("n")/3))."-01");

Then, just add 3 months in the correct place to get the end:

$qtr_end = date("Y-".(ceil(date("n")/3)+3)."-01");

Just my two cents.
