php current weekdays name with date - php

Question

I want to create a list of weekday dates with name of the weekday.
If today is monday - 2017-01-02 (Y-m-d), then I want the list to be something like this:
Mon-02 | Tue-03 | Wed-04 | Thu-05 | Fri-06 | Sat-07 | Sun-08
My code below will give such result, if today is monday.
This is what I have so far.
function NextDayDate($day) {
return new DateTime('next ' . $day);
}
$dt = new DateTime();
$today=date("l");
if ($today=="Monday") {
echo $dt->format('d'); // Todays date
echo '</br>';
}
elseif ($today!="Monday"){
echo '</br>';
$nextMonday = NextDayDate('Monday');
echo $nextMonday->format('d'); // Next date
echo '</br>';
}
if ($today=="Tuesday") {
echo $dt->format('d'); // Todays date
echo '</br>';
}
elseif ($today!="Tuesday"){
echo '</br>';
$nextMonday = NextDayDate('Tuesday');
echo $nextMonday->format('d'); // Next date
echo '</br>';
}
If today is Tuesday, then for monday I will have Mon-09 because that is the next date for monday.
Mon-09 | Tue-03 | Wed-04 | Thu-05 | Fri-06 | Sat-07 | Sun-08
I want to keep last days date so the list does not change.
Maybe there is a way to get current weeks day names with date?

Answer 1

It is much more easy:
$a = new DateTime();
$oneDay = new DateInterval("P1D");
// Here you add one day to your date until it will Monday
while ($a->format('D') != 'Mon') {
$a->add($oneDay);
}
// Here you print 7 days from your target Monday
for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) {
echo $a->format("D-d");
$a->add($oneDay);
}
