Below is a function I wrote, probably over complicated, to get the date of last $weekday.
function weekStartDate($weekday)
{
$begin = date("N", strtotime($weekday));
$today = date("N", strtotime(date("D")));
$days = $today;
for($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++)
{
if($days == 0) $days = 7;
if($days == $begin)
{
$days = $i;
break;
}
$days--;
}
$from_day = date("d") - $i;
return date("Y-m-d",
mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), $from_day, date("Y")));
}
usage:
$weekday = 'Sat';
$last_weekdays_date = weekStartDate($weekday);
