Answer 1

I have a preference to the DateTime() object personally because I find it a lot more flexible than date() . In the example below you have a stored DateTime() object that you can easily perform further modifications/formats on as you see fit rather than if you use date() .

Here's an example of its usage:

$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify('next monday');

echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

You can find a list of supported DateTime formats here which you can use, a few examples being: next week , +2 day , -3 month .

For outputting the date you can find a list of formats here

Any more information you want, you're welcome to ask away. ^^

Answer 2

好的，用这个

$nextMonday = strtotime('next monday');

Answer 3

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next monday'));

Refer http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for getting the exact format of date. I have just used the basic Ymd format

Although I find date function very easy to use, but go for the other answer if you like a OO approach to your code.
