Grab current first and last day in week in php

Question

How do I grab and show dates for the first and last day in the current week we're in.

So in this current week it would output:

2012-05-14  -  2012-05-20

(It's 2012-05-17 today)

How can this be done simply?

Answer 1

try use strtotime

$first = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("last monday"));
$last = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("next sunday"));

other examples

strtotime('monday this week');
strtotime('sunday this week');
