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

Question

Hello guys,

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.
