Get the date of next Monday, Tuesday, etc.

Question

I would like to find the date stamp on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. If this day has not yet arrived this week, I would like the date to be this week, otherwise, next week. Thank!

Answer 1

See strtotime()

 strtotime('next tuesday'); 

Perhaps you found out if you passed this day by looking at the week number:

 $nextTuesday = strtotime('next tuesday'); $weekNo = date('W'); $weekNoNextTuesday = date('W', $nextTuesday); if ($weekNoNextTuesday != $weekNo) { //past tuesday } 

Answer 2

I know this is a bit late answer, but I would like to add my answer for future links.

 // Create a new DateTime object $date = new DateTime(); // Modify the date it contains $date->modify('next monday'); // Output echo $date->format('Ym-d'); 

It's nice that you can also do this with dates other than today:

 // Create a new DateTime object $date = new DateTime('2006-05-20'); // Modify the date it contains $date->modify('next monday'); // Output echo $date->format('Ym-d'); 

To make a range:

 $monday = new DateTime('monday'); // clone start date $endDate = clone $monday; // Add 7 days to start date $endDate->modify('+7 days'); // Increase with an interval of one day $dateInterval = new DateInterval('P1D'); $dateRange = new DatePeriod($monday, $dateInterval, $endDate); foreach ($dateRange as $day) { echo $day->format('Ym-d')."<br />"; }

Answer 3

The question is marked as "php", as Tom said, a way to do this would look like this:

 date('Ym-d', strtotime('next tuesday')); 

Answer 4

Sorry, I didn’t notice the PHP tag, however someone might be interested in solving VB:

 Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim d As Date = Now Dim nextFriday As Date = DateAdd(DateInterval.Weekday, DayOfWeek.Friday - d.DayOfWeek(), Now) Console.WriteLine("next friday is " & nextFriday) Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module 

Answer 5

If I understand you correctly, do you need dates for the next 7 days?

You can do the following:

 for ($i = 0; $i < 7; $i++) echo date('d/m/y', time() + 86400 * $i); 

Check the documentation for the date function in the format you want.

Answer 6

if you want to find Monday, then "dayOfWeek" is 1, if on Tuesday it will be 2, etc.

 var date=new Date(); getNextDayOfWeek(date, 2); 

// this is to search for the next Tuesday

 function getNextDayOfWeek(date, dayOfWeek) { // Code to check that date and dayOfWeek are valid left as an exercise ;) var resultDate = new Date(date.getTime()); resultDate.setDate(date.getDate() + (7 + dayOfWeek - date.getDay()) % 7); return resultDate; } 

Hope it will be useful for you, thanks

Answer 7

The PHP documentation for time () shows an example of how you can get a date for one week. You can change this to instead go into a loop that iterates no more than 7 times, each time gets a timestamp, gets the corresponding date, and gets the day of the week.
