Get previous week date range php

Question

I need help getting the "this week" full date range in the following format: Y-m-d

I have successfully been able to get "this month" full date range but not the "this week" full date range.

This is my code for "this month":

//Functions for later use
function firstOfMonth() {
    return date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date('m').'/01/'.date('Y').' 00:00:00'));
}

function lastOfMonth() {
    return date("Y-m-d", strtotime('-1 second',strtotime('+1 month',strtotime(date('m').'/01/'.date('Y').' 00:00:00'))));
}

//Setup the date_range variables
$date_start = firstOfMonth();
$date_end  = lastOfMonth();

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Just so you know, your "first of month" code is wrong. If you're in August, it'll give you the range July 8th to August 7th. Use the correct d/m/Y format when doing it that way around.

As for the week, try this:

$start_week = strtotime("last monday midnight");
$end_week = strtotime("+1 week",$start_week);

$start_week = date("Y/m/d",$start_week);
$end_week = date("Y/m/d",$end_week);

Layton Everson you are correct. The correct format I think should be :

strtotime('-2  Monday');
