Get first day of week in PHP?

i have this script that give’s me the beginning and the end of the current week:

$begweek = (date('l') == 'Monday')?date('Y-m-d'):date('Y-m-d',strtotime('last monday'));
echo $begweek;

echo "<br>";
$endweek = (date('l') == 'Sunday')?date('Y-m-d'):date('Y-m-d',strtotime('Sunday'));

what i need is a way to find the beginning and the end of any week if i pass a random date, like $date="2011-11-15";

an ideas on what i need to modify in the current script to accommodate this variable?

thanks

Answer 1

The date function takes a second parameters.

THE CODE

function blah($date){

    $begweek = (date('l', strtotime($date)) == 'Monday')?date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date)):date('Y-m-d',strtotime('last monday', strtotime($date)));
    echo $begweek;

    echo "<br>";
    $endweek = (date('l', strtotime($date)) == 'Sunday')?date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date)):date('Y-m-d',strtotime('Sunday', strtotime($date)));
    echo $endweek;

}

blah("2011-11-15");

THE OUTPUT

2011-11-14
2011-11-20
