Given a date MM-dd-yyyy format, can someone help me get the first day of the week?

Use strtotime() function to get the first day of week using PHP. This function returns the default time variable timestamp and then use date() function to convert timestamp date into understandable date. strtotime() Function: The strtotime() function returns the result in timestamp by parsing the time string.
To get the first day of the week, we subtract the day of the week from the day of the month. If the day of the week is Sunday, we subtract -6 to get Monday, if it is any other day we add 1 , because the getDay method returns a zero-based value.
If your date is already a DateTime or DateTimeImmutable you can use the format method. $day_of_week = intval($date_time->format('w'));
getStartAndEndDate($week, $year); output: $return[0] = $firstDay; $return[1] = $lastDay; The return value will be something like an array in which the first entry is the week starting date and the second being the ending date.
Here is what I am using...
$day = date('w'); $week_start = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('-'.$day.' days')); $week_end = date('m-d-Y', strtotime('+'.(6-$day).' days')); $day contains a number from 0 to 6 representing the day of the week (Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, etc.).
$week_start contains the date for Sunday of the current week as mm-dd-yyyy.
$week_end contains the date for the Saturday of the current week as mm-dd-yyyy.
