Get date for monday and friday for the current week (PHP)

Question

How can I get the date for monday and friday for the current week?

I have the following code, but it fails if current day is sunday or saturday.

$current_day = date("N"); $days_to_friday = 5 - $current_day; $days_from_monday = $current_day - 1; $monday = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("- {$days_from_monday} Days")); $friday = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+ {$days_to_friday} Days")); 

Answer 1

These strtotime inputs work very well:

strtotime( "next monday" ); strtotime( "previous monday" ); strtotime( "today" ); strtotime( "next friday" ); strtotime( "previous friday" ); 

All you need to do is to wrap the logic inside some if statements.

Answer 2

Best solution would be:

$monday = date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( 'monday this week' ) ); $friday = date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( 'friday this week' ) );
