first get the week number than get previous week and get its date.

   $ddate = "2017-1-31";
$date = new DateTime($ddate);
$week = $date->format("W");
$year = $date->format("o");
var_dump($week);
function etStartAndEndDate($week, $year) {
  $dto = new DateTime();
  $dto->setISODate($year, $week);
  $ret['week_start'] = $dto->format('Y-m-d');
  $dto->modify('+6 days');
  $ret['week_end'] = $dto->format('Y-m-d');
  return $ret;
}
  $day=etStartAndEndDate($week-1,$year);
var_dump($day)

Don't use `Y` format for year, when working with ISO weeks. Use `o` format for year. Based on that, your answer will not work for example `2014-12-31`... – Glavić Jan 31 '17 at 07:37
@Glavić I have test this date and get perfect output for both last and nex week dates – krishn Patel Jan 31 '17 at 08:07
@krishnpatel: can you support that statement with a link? [Here is my](https://eval.in/727518). – Glavić Jan 31 '17 at 08:08
@Glavić I accept this mistake. thank you very much. I have change my answer. – krishn Patel Jan 31 '17 at 08:14

@krishnpatel: np, I just hope you understand the difference and will use it correctly in the future :) – Glavić Jan 31 '17 at 21:17

You can do it easily using date and strtotime functions this way:

    echo "today is: ".date("m/d/Y", strtotime("today"))."<br/>";
echo "last Week starting date: ".date("m/d/Y", strtotime("last week monday"))."<br/>";
echo "last Week ending date: ".date("m/d/Y", strtotime("last week sunday"));

thank you for reply if i want to get the second week of this month how can i get – kunal Jan 31 '17 at 06:22
`strtotime("second monday of $month $year")`. check this [demo](https://eval.in/727348) – bansi Jan 31 '17 at 06:28
well, you can always use strtotime doing something like this: `date('d', strtotime('second mon of january 2017'))`; – Jan 31 '17 at 06:31
