how can I convert the day to the near future date in php?
Like if I enter Monday and if today is Friday 22/08/2014 it should convert Monday to 25/08/2014 ?
use the php function strtotime and the key next week monday to get the next date
http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.strtotime.php
$theDay = 'Monday'; // eg. Monday
$time = strtotime('next week ' . $theDay);
echo date('d.m.y', $time); // get next monday

I want to show the date of the current week if the variable is the day string
so if the variable is Friday then the date must be 2020-07-03 and if today is Thursday and the variable is Thursday then the date must be 2020-07-09
$today= \Carbon\Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d');
In core PHP, there is an awesome function called strtotime(). It can be used to serve the purpose,
$dayOfTheWeek = 'Wednesday';
$ts = strtotime('next ' . $dayOfTheWeek);
echo date('Y-m-d', $ts);
I hope this helps.
Is there an easy way to get last week's, say, Monday? If today is Tuesday, I do not want yesterday's Monday. Rather, I want the Monday 8 days ago (last week's Monday). Then I want that Monday's proceeding Sunday. Basically, I'm trying to get the date range for last week, Monday to Sunday.
This doesn't always work right:
date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last Monday')
Suggestions?
You can use “this week” format:
$monday = strtotime( 'this week', strtotime( '7 days ago' ) );
$sunday = strtotime( '+ 6 days', $monday );
3v4l.org demo
“this_week” returns monday of previous week, then — adding 6 days — you obtain the monday of relative week.
The strtotime function accepts the current date as a parameter.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
Just pass in strtotime('last Sunday') as the parameter to get a weekday of the last full week.
$beginning_of_week = strtotime('last Sunday');
$result = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last Monday', $beginning_of_week));
echo $result;
Is there a short preset function to find the start (Monday) and end (Sunday) of the week by a given $date ?
I tried:
1)
date("Y-m-d", strtotime('sunday this week ' . $date));
date("Y-m-d", strtotime('monday this week ' . $date));
But this fails when $date is Sunday... it returns the Monday of Next week.
2) also this
date("Y-m-d", strtotime('last monday ' . $date));
date("Y-m-d", strtotime('next sunday ' . $date));
But again if $date is Monday or Sunday it gives the previous/next week.
I know it can be done with few condition .. but I m look for more out of the box solution.
You can use DateTime::format('N') to get the ISO-8601 day of the week (1 = Monday .. 7 = Sunday) and do some simple date arithmetic to get the Monday and the Sunday of the week that contains the specified date (I assume you want the week starting on Monday).
// Today (or any other day you like)
$today = new DateTime('now');
echo('Today: '.$today->format('Y-m-d (D)')."\n");
// Day of week (1 = Monday .. 7 = Sunday)
$dow = $today->format('N');
// Monday is ($dow-1) days in the past
$monday = clone $today;
$monday->sub(new DateInterval('P'.($dow-1).'D'));
echo('Monday: '.$monday->format('Y-m-d')."\n");
// Sunday is 6 days after Monday
$sunday = clone $monday;
$sunday->add(new DateInterval('P6D'));
echo('Sunday: '.$sunday->format('Y-m-d')."\n");
I'm aware of the vast amount of date questions on SO but I am stumped at this one.
I need to run some reports and in order to do so I need to work out some dates.
The report will run on a Monday and I need to work out the dates of the Sunday the week before and the following Saturday.
e.g. The report will be run on Monday the 28th May and the dates I need are Sunday the 20th May and Saturday the 26th May.
I then need the same values but for the previous week, so Sunday the 13th May and Saturday the 19th May.
I think this part will be fine as it's just a case of getting the current date of the Monday when the report is run and and manipulating it from there.
THEN finally, the part I can't work out is the first week I mentioned, I need the corresponding dates from last year, so the dates of the Sunday and Saturday from the same week number in the previous year.
I know the date function can give you the week number but can't see how to work out the dates of the Sunday of that week and the previous Saturday based on that.
This is what I have, forgive the OTT variable names:
$today = date('Y/m/d');
// reports run on a Monday and use last Sunday and the following Saturday's date so get yesterday's date first
$yesterday = strtotime ('-1 day', strtotime($today));
$yesterday = date ('Y/m/d', $yesterday);
// start of week (last Sunday)
$start_of_last_week = strtotime ('-1 week', strtotime($yesterday));
$start_of_last_week = date ('Y/m/d', $start_of_last_week);
// end of last week (the following Saturday)
$end_of_last_week = strtotime ('+ 6 days', strtotime($start_of_last_week));
$end_of_last_week = date ('Y/m/d', $end_of_last_week;
// start of previous week
$start_of_previous_week = strtotime ('-1 week', strtotime($start_of_last_week));
$start_of_previous_week = date ('Y/m/d', $start_of_previous_week);
// end of previous week
$end_of_previous_week = strtotime ('+ 6 days', strtotime($start_of_previous_week));
$end_of_previous_week = date ('Y/m/d', previous;
// the start of the same week last year
$start_of_last_week_last_year = strtotime ('-1 year', strtotime($start_of_last_week ));
But the above isn't right so not sure what to do next.
Any help is much appreciated.
You can find out the date of the Monday of a particular year and week number like this
date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( '2012W21' )); //2011-05-23
Compound Date Formats
I have week number of current year and week day generated by date() like this.
$week_number = date('W');
$week_day = date('w');
I need to format this. How can I get starting date of this week? Or day of month with $week_number and $week_day?
Update:
Maybe this article helps you. It describes how to get the start and end date of a given week.
<?php
// Monday
echo date(
datetime::ISO8601,
strtotime("2006W37"));
// Sunday
echo date(
datetime::ISO8601,
strtotime("2006W377"));
?>
Where the format is <year>W<week-number><daynumber> and Monday is 1.
Update 2:
Maybe another possibility is to use strtotime() this way:
echo strtotime("last Monday");
echo strtotime("next Sunday");
You can combine this with date() to get the date in the desired format.
You can get the day of the month with date('d') directly.
