PHP Date workout timescale from Monday and 1st of Month

[blmg2009]

Hi, 

 

I'm fairly new to PHP and I do struggle with the PHP time functions and the aspect of working with dates. 

 

I'm needing to create a between two dates variables for myself to use in MYSQL. Since i'm creating a feature that allows the viewer to select a day during the week to run a cron job. 

 

Let say it's Saturday. 

 

I need to work out from the time the script is run (THE FROM DATE) what the (TO DATE) will be, which I'm wanting the (TO DATE) to be the Monday at 00:01 at the start of that week. 

 

However this is proving quite difficult to perform simply without writing long pieces of code. 

 

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Here's a quick demonstration of what happens when you use strtotime with a phrase like "next Monday": https://3v4l.org/t9ZaI.

 

Between Tuesday and Sunday, "next Monday" is the next Monday. On Monday itself the date will be the next week - which may be a good thing for you.
