| <?php | |
| // This creates a date string in the format YYYY-WNN, which is | |
| // a four digit year followed by a hyphen and letter W then the | |
| // two digit week number | |
| $strtotime = date("o-\WW"); | |
| // The $start timestamp contains the timestamp at 0:00 on the | |
| // Monday at the beginning of the week | |
| $start = strtotime($strtotime); | |
| // and the end timestamp is six days later just before midnight | |
| $end = strtotime("+6 days 23:59:59", $start); | |
| // Display each of the timestamps and the corresponding date | |
| echo "$start: ".date("r", $start).PHP_EOL; | |
| echo "$end: ".date("r", $end).PHP_EOL; | |
