1You don't need to call date 3 times `date('l, m, d')` would suffice – m.e.conroy Sep 18 '13 at 13:45

But, those were only example, – Irfan Ahmed Sep 18 '13 at 13:46

This should get you started:
$dt = new DateTime('first Monday of this month');
echo $dt->format('l m d');

Your code works for me, but someone post " This question may already have an answer here: First date of a week 6 answers " was not according to my situation! – Irfan Ahmed Sep 18 '13 at 14:05

You can use strotime(), like so:
function getDateFromDay($day) {
return date('d-m-Y', strtotime("first $day of this month"));
}
Usage:
echo getDateFromDay('Monday');
Output:
02-09-2013
