Issue with getting week starting from sunday

问题

Following is the function which I have created for getting sunday as a starting day of a week,


function getCurrentIntervalOfWeek($liveratetime) {
    // get start of each week.
    $dayofweek = date('w', $liveratetime);
    $getdate = date('Y-m-d', $liveratetime);
    $createstart = strtotime('last Sunday', $getdate);
    $weekstart = ($dayofweek == 0) ? $liveratetime : $createstart;
    // get the current time interval for a week, i.e. Sunday 00:00:00 UTC
    $currentInterval = mktime(0,0,0, date('m', $weekstart), date('d', $weekstart), date('Y', $weekstart));
    return $currentInterval;
}

Here liveratetime is the epoch time of any day in a week. Basically this function takes the liveratetime and looks for last sunday so as to get the current interval for that perticulat liveratetime epoch.

but the issue here is that, whenever I try to get current interval from this for certain liveratetime the

$createstart = strtotime('last Sunday', $getdate);

gives me

-345600

. And I am not getting why? can anyone please share a light on this.

This usually happens on the past dates like

2007-10-02

回答1:

Strtotime's second parameter is a TIMESTAMP, not a string representation of a date. Try:

$createstart = strtotime('last Sunday', $liveratetime);

It gives you -345600, because when $getdate, which is Y-m-d, is parsed as an int results in 0 - the epoch time. So, last sunday from epoch time is the result...

You might want to try this function, it will return an array of dates, starting on sunday, based on the date it is provided.

function get_week_dates( $date )
{
// the return array
$dates = array();

$time = strtotime($date);
$start = strtotime('last Sunday', $time);

$dates[] = date( 'Y-m-d', $start );

// calculate the rest of the times
for( $i = 1; $i < 7; $i++ )
{
    $dates[] = date( 'Y-m-d' , ( $start + ( $i * ( 60 * 60 * 24 ) ) ) );
}

return $dates;
}

usage

get_week_dates( '2011-03-21' );

will return

array
  0 => string '2011-03-20' (length=10)
  1 => string '2011-03-21' (length=10)
  2 => string '2011-03-22' (length=10)
  3 => string '2011-03-23' (length=10)
  4 => string '2011-03-24' (length=10)
  5 => string '2011-03-25' (length=10)
  6 => string '2011-03-26' (length=10)

I was looking for a solution for this problem and after some researching and trying, it seemed like this works... although I still need to test is on next sunday to see if it really did.. anyway here is the code:

$week_start = new DateTime();
$week = strftime("%U");  //this gets you the week number starting Sunday
$week_start->setISODate(2012,$week,0); //return the first day of the week with offset 0
echo $week_start -> format('d-M-Y'); //and just prints with formatting
