Answer 1

PHP strtotime function is magic, most of people don't know but you can do a lot of things with this function.
$start_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('next Saturday'));

Answer 2

Use strtotime()
$sat = strtotime('saturday');

Answer 3

$start_date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime('Saturday'));

Answer 4

My definition of "weekend" is next Friday, end of office hours up to end of Sunday.
In PHP, this would be
$weekend = new DatePeriod(
new DateTime('next Friday 18:00'),
DateInterval::createFromDateString('+1 hour'),
new DateTime('next Friday +2 day 23:59'));
foreach($weekend as $hours) {
echo $hours->format( "l Y-m-d H:i:s\n" );
}

Answer 5

Try this:
<?php
$time = mktime();
$found = false;
while(!$found) {
$d = date('N', $time);
if($d == 6 || $d == 7) {
$found = true;
$weekend = date('d/m/Y G:i:s', $time);
}
$time += 86400;
}
echo("Weekend begins on: $weekend");
?>

First weekend calculation
if(date('w')==6){// Today is Saturday | Bugün Cumartesi ise
$wknd=date("Y-md-").'-'.date("Y-m-d", strtotime('next Sunday'));
}if(date('w')==0){// Today is Sunday | Bugün Pazar ise
$wknd=date("Y-m-d");
}else{ // On weekdays | Hafta içi ise
$wknd=date("Y-m-d", strtotime('next Saturday')).'-'.date("Ymd", strtotime('next Sunday'));
}
echo $wknd;
