How To Find Monday Of A Given Week

[refiking]

I've googled for this but have only found scripts that require you to given them a specific date and it tells you what day that is.  I need something that can take a date in Y-m-d format and give me the date of the Monday of that week. Here's where I am right now:

$time = time();
$today = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00', $time);
//$monday = ????

Something here should help you:

Try something like this:

<?php
$tomonday = array(0,0,-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,1);
echo "Monday's date this week is " . date('F jS, Y',strtotime($tomonday[date('N')] . ' days'));	
?>

Thanks Ken.  I already got something working based on the link F1Fan gave me.  Although yours is a bit less verbose.  Here's what I did:

IF ($day = 'Monday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today");
$tue = strtotime("$today + 1 day");
$wed = strtotime("$today + 2 days");
$thur = strtotime("$today + 3 days");
$fri = strotime("$today + 4 days");
}
IF ($day = 'Tuesday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today - 1 day");
$tue = strtotime("$today");
$wed = strtotime("$today + 1 day");
$thur = strtotime("$today + 2 days");
$fri = strtotime("$today + 3 days");
}
IF ($day = 'Wednesday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today - 2 days");
$tue = strtotime("$today - 1 day");
$wed = strtotime("$today");
$thur = strtotime("$today + 1 day");
$fri = strtotime("$today + 2 days");
}
IF ($day = 'Thursday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today - 3 days");
$tue = strtotime("$today - 2 days");
$wed = strtotime("$today - 1 day");
$thur = strtotime("$today");
$fri = strtotime("$today + 1 day");
}
IF ($day = 'Friday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today -  4 days");
$tue = strtotime("$today - 3 days");
$wed = strtotime("$today - 2 days");
$thur = strtotime("$today - 1 day");
$fri = strtotime("$today");
}
IF ($day = 'Saturday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today -  5 days");
$tue = strtotime("$today - 4 days");
$wed = strtotime("$today - 3 days");
$thur = strtotime("$today - 2 days");
$fri = strtotime("$today - 1 day");
}
IF ($day = 'Sunday'){
$mon = strtotime("$today = 1 day");
$tue = strtotime("$today + 2 days");
$wed = strtotime("$today + 3 days");
$thur = strtotime("$today + 4 days");
$fri = strtotime("$today + 5 days");
}

Your "if" statements are wrong. You're using a single "=" instead of the double "==" needed for comparison.
