php 如何将日期字符串转换为最近一周的日期

Question

I want to show the date of the current week if the variable is the day string so if the variable is Friday then the date must be 2020-07-03 and if today is Thursday and the variable is Thursday then the date must be 2020-07-09

$today= \Carbon\Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d');

Answer 1

In core PHP, there is an awesome function called strtotime() . It can be used to serve the purpose,

$dayOfTheWeek = 'Wednesday';
$ts = strtotime('next ' . $dayOfTheWeek);
echo date('Y-m-d', $ts);

I hope this helps.
