I'm trying to get the date of a monday of a given week. I found some examples on here, but all of them are not working.

This is what I have currently.

$week = $_GET['week'];
$year = date('Y');

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

How would I do this?

is this a typo here on stackoverflow or it's in your original code too? strtotime("$year-W$week-1") **W$week** – GrafiCode Sep 22 '15 at 23:50

Works for me: `$year = 2015; $week = 39; $date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("$year-W$week-1")); echo '

' . $date;` Gives me 2015-09-21 which is yesterday. – developerwjk Sep 22 '15 at 23:52
The obvious question is: What are you putting inside `$_GET['week']`??? It should be a number from 1 to 52. – developerwjk Sep 22 '15 at 23:55
@developerwjk a number between 1 and 52, but all the result are giving me 1970-01-01 – Dr. Banana Sep 22 '15 at 23:57

I'm willing to bet that `$_GET['week']` is "1" instead of "01" (or other single digit) and set as a string. var_dump will ya? ;-) I.e.: `$_GET['week']=1;` rather than `$_GET['week']="01";` or gets parsed as `$_GET['week']=01;` and the leading zero is treated as an octal. – Funk Forty Niner Sep 23 '15 at 00:04
*"a number between 1 and 52"* - it needs to be in 01,02....09 format and as a string. I think I'm right about this. – Funk Forty Niner Sep 23 '15 at 00:09
@Fred-ii- damm, I never though about it being seen as a string. It works fine now. Thanks – Dr. Banana Sep 23 '15 at 00:12

oh crap.. the answer's been closed. – Funk Forty Niner Sep 23 '15 at 00:15
01 works but 1 doesn't work. Changed my script client side to request 01, 02, 03 etc instead of it requesting. Not the best fix, but it works. – Dr. Banana Sep 23 '15 at 00:18
