Running 

var_dump(new \DateTime('first day of this week'));

Returns the 1st of September

Is this a bug, and is there any workaround?

  • Interesting. It has been discussed [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1897727/get-first-day-of-week-in-php) – Raptor Oct 06 '16 at 02:23
  • Some of the PHP date functions do not seem to work as expected. jddayofweek is another one that did not work for me. – sdexp Oct 06 '16 at 02:27
  • I tried `last day of this week` as well. And it returned the last day of this month, which is Oct. 31. Weird. – Rax Weber Oct 06 '16 at 02:37
  • It is perfectly normal : the doc indicate that 'first day of' return the first day of a month : http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php – Julien Bourdic Oct 07 '16 at 12:25
  • FWIW, I would never rely on the automagic of parsing human sentences, unless I completely understood how this parsing works and how my input will be interpreted. This isn't too hard to do "manually". – deceze Oct 07 '16 at 12:30
