How to display a formatted weekdays from a given Week number

Question

I'm getting the weekdays from a given week number and year using the php below:

$week_number = 42; 
$year = 2014; 
for($day = 1; $day<=7; $day++)
   {
     echo date('m/d/Y',strtotime($year."W".          $week_number.$day));
  }

The Output look likes this:

How can I make it look just like this:

 Oct 13 - Oct 19.

Thank you.

Don't do this in a loop, since you want only start and end of the week. — Tomasz Kowalczyk, Sep 24 '12 at 12:57

<?php

$week_number = 42; 
$year = 2014; 
echo date('M d',strtotime($year."W".$week_number . 1)) . " - " . date('M d',strtotime($year."W".$week_number . 7)).".";
?>

$week_number = 42; 
$year = 2014; 

$week_number = ($week_number < 10) ? '0'.$week_number : $week_number;
echo date('M d',strtotime($year.'W'.$week_number.'1')).' - '.date('M d',strtotime($year.'W'.$week_number.'7')).'.';

// remember that $week_number must be prefixed with 0 if week number is lower than 10
