Question

I’m retrieving an entry from a database with a date associated with it.

I want to be able to get the previous Sunday and the next Saturday relative to that specific date to populate a jQuery datepicker.

I know how to do it with the actual time/date with :

strtotime('last Sunday')

but I don’t know how to do that for a date other than now…

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use the second argument of strtotime to specify the date to calculate "last Sunday" and other relative dates from:

strtotime('last Sunday', strtotime('09/01/2010'));

https://www.php.net/strtotime

Example:

echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime('last Sunday', strtotime('09/01/2010')));

Output:

08/29/2010
