PHP get a list of dates Mon - Sun

Question

I would like to get a list of dates in the following format for a given year;

array:4 [▼
  "04" => "25 Jan 2016 - 31 Jan 2016"
  "03" => "18 Jan 2016 - 24 Jan 2016"
  "02" => "11 Jan 2016 - 17 Jan 2016"
  "01" => "4 Jan 2016 - 10 Jan 2016"
]

The array key shows the week number. The array value shows the dates.

If the year given is equal to the current year then I only want it to show dates up until the current week.

How can I achieve this?

No one will write you the whole algorithm, you have to do some stuff on your own — FKutsche, Jan 26 '16 at 08:55

This user defined getDates() function which takes weeknumber and year as input will return the desired result.

<?php

echo "<pre>";
print_r(getDates('4', '2016'));
echo "</pre>";


function getDates($weekNumber, $year) {
    $returnArr = array();

    for($i=$weekNumber; $i >= 1; $i--) {
        $wno = $i<=9 ? "0".$i : $i;

        $calStr = $year . "W" . $wno;

        $startDate = date('d M Y',strtotime($calStr));

        $endDate = date('d M Y', strtotime($startDate. ' + 6 day'));

        $weekDays = $startDate . ' - ' . $endDate;

        $returnArr[$wno] = $weekDays;
    }

    return $returnArr;
}

Output

Array
(
    [04] => 25 Jan 2016 - 31 Jan 2016
    [03] => 18 Jan 2016 - 24 Jan 2016
    [02] => 11 Jan 2016 - 17 Jan 2016
    [01] => 04 Jan 2016 - 10 Jan 2016
)
