Php date: How to get the first and last day of the week

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to get the first and last day of the week in php.

By default, in PHP the week runs from Monday to Sunday. However we'll cover two methods to get the first and last day for both those who consider Sunday or Monday as their first day of the week.

We will be using 2 functions to achieve this:

date()

strtotime()

We will use a combination of these two functions and store the result in a variable.

How to get the first day of the week

If you want to get Sunday, use this method:


  $firstday = date('l Y-m-d', strtotime("sunday -1 week"));
  echo $firstday;

If you want to get the date for Monday, this current week, use this method:


  $monday = date('l Y-m-d', strtotime("monday -1 week "));
  echo $monday;

How to get the last day of the week

The following code will give you Saturday as the last day of the current week.


  $lastday = date('l Y-m-d', strtotime("saturday 0 week"));
  echo $lastday;

Get Sunday as the last day of the current week.


$sunday = date('l Y-m-d', strtotime("sunday 0 week "));
echo $sunday;

Using the above methods you can get any day of the week. You can also change the format to suit your own preferences.

I hope you found this very helpful. All the best as you build that cool project of yours.

Hip hop and RnB songs to apologize to your partner

Love is a beautiful thing, but it often goes wrong. This often leads to pain, suffering and sorrow. Being imperfect beings, hearts tend to get broken all the time regardless how hard we may try to avoid it. The heartbreak is often inadvertent but at times we find ourselves in the wrong. An oversight, a word unsaid or even a lapse in our judgement can cause our loved ones harm. This doesn't always have to be the end though. Oftentimes, relationships can be mended by simply uttering three simple words: "I AM SORRY". This article is a collection of some of my favourite 'I'm sorry' songs. I hope you'll enjoy these apology songs, but more importantly, I hope you will get a few quotables and some wisdom nuggets from them. The best apology however, is to change behaviour (got that from a Jay Z interview) so as you apologize, please remember that it was your actions that hurt them. The best apology is one which involves you not repeating those same mistakes aga

Once we have created our project, let us create a more block to place our code. Navigate to the events menu and then to the moreblock section as shown in the image above. Create a moreBlock. I have created a moreblock with the name "BackgroundActivity" with a boolean variable named "run." See the image below for how to add the boolean variable.

Today we will be looking at creating more complex games such as an endless runner, car racing or any animated game. You could even create a 3D game but that is of you can create the graphics. The first step is deciding what kind of game you want to create. This starts with the objective of the game, how the user will earn points, the various levels as well as customizations and upgrades. Once you have the concept you can then start building your app. This tutorial will show you how to create a game app like the one in the video below. Still needs work but I hope you get the idea. What you will need For a simple game app, you will need the following: 1. A sprite sheet These are images of your various characters e.g. it can be a happy face, sad face, angry face and so on.
