Question

I want dates like current week dates from Monday to Wednesday and last week dates from last week Monday to last week Wednesday
I have tried this code
function last_to_last_week_date(){
$previous_week = strtotime("-2 week +1 day");
$start_week = strtotime("last monday",$previous_week);
$end_week = strtotime("next sunday",$start_week);
$start_week = date("Y-m-d",$start_week);
$end_week = date("Y-m-d",$end_week);
return $start_week.' '.$end_week ;
}
function last_week_date(){
$previous_week = strtotime("-1 week +1 day");
$start_week = strtotime("last monday",$previous_week);
$end_week = strtotime("next sunday",$start_week);
$start_week = date("Y-m-d",$start_week);
$end_week = date("Y-m-d",$end_week);
return $start_week.' '.$end_week ;
}
but with this, I have received last week dates and last to last week dates
can anybody help me with this

Answer 1

You can simply fix 2 rows in your code:
$end_week = strtotime("next wednesday",$start_week); // <-- "next wednesday"
And for the current dates:
$previous_week = strtotime("+1 day");
Demo
Output:
2020-01-20 2020-01-22
2020-01-27 2020-01-29
DRY
You can simplify your code. Use one method in each of two:
function optimDate($prev_w){
$start_week = strtotime("last monday",$prev_w);
$end_week = strtotime("next wednesday",$start_week);
$start_week = date("Y-m-d",$start_week);
$end_week = date("Y-m-d",$end_week);
return $start_week.' '.$end_week ;
}
And these two method become like
function last_week_date(){
return optimDate(strtotime("-1 week +1 day"));
}
function curr_week_date(){
return optimDate(strtotime("+1 days"));
}
Demo
In fact, this also could be optimized.
