Unix Timestamp - Previous Saturday 12:00

[ralphiooo]

Hi, is it possible to return the unix timestamp for the previous saturday at 12:00. I tried looking mktime but didn't know where to start. Appreciate if someone could help. Thanks

Hi one small problem if i put last sunday 00:00:00 i get the timestamp for the previous sunday (6th August) instead of the timestamp for the current sunday. Any idea of a fix. Appreciate your help once more thanks.

Hi, problem solved i did the following:

$last_time = strtotime('last saturday 12:00:00');
$week = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7;
	
if (time() - $week > $last_time) {
	$last_time += $week;
}

i suspect that is anticipated behaviour: as today is sunday i would expect "last Sunday" to be the 6th August.

by the way, you can, of course, use strtotime("midnight last sunday")
