Figuring out the beginning of the week with timestamps

[mschrank99]

How do I figure out when the current week starts with timestamps? I figured it out with months, for example:

 

$thisMonth = date(d) * 24 * 60 * 60;

$thisMonth = time() - $thisMonth;

$thisMonth = date(Ymd,$thisMonth);

 

This would give you a timestamp pertaining to the beginning of the month. I want to get one pertaining to the beginning of the week, which seems more complicated. For example, today falls in the second week of feburary. The beginning of the week was the 5th. I need to find some way to figure out on which date the first day of the given week falls.

 

Thanks,

If you're counting Sunday as the beginning of the week, check if it's already sunday today using date(), and if it's not use

$sunday = strtotime("last Sunday");
