strtotime - Monday of current week

[Chris]

I am trying to output Monday of the current week i.e. if Monday is the
8th I want to display 'Monday 8th' for any date between Monday 8-14th.

I would appreciate any help, the code below is heading in the right
direction but doesn't quite give me the results I am looking for.

$givenday = mktime(0,0,0,10 ,08,2007);
$Monday = strtotime("Mond ay this week",$givenday );
echo date("j M Y H:i:s", $Monday);

Cheers,

Chris

This seems to work for me.

php -r "echo date('j M Y H:i:s',strtotim e('last Monday', \
strtotime('Sund ay')));"

You want the Monday previous to next Sunday.

I wanted a link to show this monday, then the next etc. Your code
helped, will continue to build on it.

$monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('last Monday',
strtotime('Sund ay')));
$unixtime_monda y = strtotime($mond ay);
$next_monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('+1 week', $unixtime_monda y));

Euhm, what am I missing?

$monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('last Monday',strtoti me('Sunday')));
$unixtime_monda y = strtotime($mond ay);

Would be equal to:

$unixtime_monda y = strtotime('last Monday',strtoti me('Sunday'));

is it not?

I wanted a link to show this monday, then the next etc. Your code
helped, will continue to build on it.

$monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('last Monday',
strtotime('Sund ay')));
$unixtime_monda y = strtotime($mond ay);
$next_monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('+1 week', $unixtime_monda y));

Yes, but php strtotime already knows 'next Monday':

Sun Oct 14 15:33:54 bash3.2:ttyp0:l ars
debranded~$php -r "echo date('j M Y',strtotime('n ext Monday'));"
15 Oct 2007

(Yes, it is broken if your php is older than 4.4.0)

The problem part of your original problem was that strtotime doesn't know
something like "Monday of this week". The difficulty of implementing that
in the strtotime function would be that people would have different
understandings of what they mean by 'this week.' For example, your problem
involves the work week (of which Sunday is the last day). Most Western
calendars use a week that ends on Saturday. You might well consider Jan. 1
to be the first day of the first week.
And it has been mentioned that:

$monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('last Monday',
strtotime('Sund ay')));
$unixtime_monda y = strtotime($mond ay);

is the same as

$unixtime_monda y = strtotime('last Monday', strtotime('Sund ay')));

There is no point in going string to time and back.

So even if you have old php (or want to be backwards compatible with
broken versions)

$next_monday = date('j M Y', strtotime('+1 week',
strtotime('last Monday', strtotime('Sund ay'))));
