Calculating start and end dates of a week.
A friend asked "How do I calculate start (monday) and end (sunday) dates from a given week number for a specified year?" Instead of having to come up with your own algorithm you can simply do the following in PHP 5.1 and higher:
<?php
// Monday
echo date(
datetime::ISO8601,
strtotime("2006W37"));
// Sunday
echo date(
datetime::ISO8601,
strtotime("2006W377"));
?>
The format is " year 'W' weeknr ( daynr )?" where the default daynr is 1 being the Monday of that week. The daynr can be in the range 0 to 7. The weeknr is the ISO week number . Please note that the " year '-W' weeknr ( '-' daynr )?" format is only supported in PHP 5.2 and higher.

Thanks Derek, that is going to make life a lot easier!
Keep it simple and just do strtotime('-1 Sunday',$currentDay);
it is simpler and uses less resources.
or you could use PEAR::Date(), it makes it very easy as well
@Ammar: Why would you want to use a wrapper class in PHP when the extension supports it?
Hey Dereck
thanks for confirming yet again why I love the Internet... I've been playing around with this particular problem for the last few days... any solution I had was not nearly as elegant and simple as this... glad I found this posting...will help tremendously.
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime(date("Y").'W'.date('W')."7"));
If 1 for daynr represents monday, what does 0 represent? How can it accept values 0-7?
Thnx! Just what I was looking for!
Thank you very much!
Excellent example of exactly what a lot of people need. Please keep this example up for the rest of the PHP newbs like me!
You have just saved me a lot of time on deadline day at work.
Thanks!
Thank you very much. This threat was my first search result: "php calculate start end week"..
Wow. I had no clue about this. Thanks, man!
Very very usefull, I knew about the W weeks implemented in recent php but this is pretty useful, saved me on a thing I have to do at work :)
Excellent...!
Exactly what I was looking for.
Even in 2013 this is very useful, thanks! Saved me much work
Thank you! I was getting very frustrated trying to get my dates to format properly, you're a lifesaver!

Little Owl owlet
This lovely owlet was quite easy to find in a London Park, with some help as they camouflage so well!
I saw its sibling too.

I went to a park (Bushy Park) to look for some owls.
I found Owls (Little and Tawny), but also a Green Woodpecker and two Kingfishers.
Snaps from my camera screen, and real photos will follow, but not of the Kingfishers as they were too far away and the photos are blurry.
