Answer 1

You can use strtotime()

$previous_week = strtotime("-1 week +1 day");  $start_week = strtotime("last sunday midnight",$previous_week); $end_week = strtotime("next saturday",$start_week);  $start_week = date("Y-m-d",$start_week); $end_week = date("Y-m-d",$end_week);  echo $start_week.' '.$end_week ; 

UPDATE

Changed the code to handle sunday. If the current day is sunday then - 1 week will be previous sunday and again getting previous sunday for that will go the one week back.

$previous_week = strtotime("-1 week +1 day"); 

In addition if we need to find the current week and next week date range we can do as

Current week -

$d = strtotime("today"); $start_week = strtotime("last sunday midnight",$d); $end_week = strtotime("next saturday",$d); $start = date("Y-m-d",$start_week);  $end = date("Y-m-d",$end_week);   

Next Week -

$d = strtotime("+1 week -1 day"); $start_week = strtotime("last sunday midnight",$d); $end_week = strtotime("next saturday",$d); $start = date("Y-m-d",$start_week);  $end = date("Y-m-d",$end_week);
