Next tuesday, not AFTER this tuesday

How do I (in an elegant way) get strtotime to select the first upcoming tuesday, and use today if today is tuesday?

I first used

strtotime('next Tuesday');

Then the clock passed midnight monday and strtotime began targeting the NEXT tuesday

strtotime('next Tuesday', strtotime('tomorrow'))

does not seem to change anything (still targets the tuesday next week)

strtotime('this tuesday')

works today, but which tuesday will it target tomorrow?

strtotime("this tuesday") is what you're looking for

//given current datetime of Tue Jul  8 03:40:27
print date('Y-m-d',strtotime('this tuesday')); //2014-07-08
print date('Y-m-d',strtotime('this monday')); //2014-07-14
print date('Y-m-d',strtotime('this wednesday')); //2014-07-09

you can avoid using statement. 

 <?php 
    $today = date('D');
    $Tuesday= strtotime("Monday"); // change To Monday to test
    $secondTuesday=strtotime("next Tuesday",$Tuesday);
    echo $today === $Tuesday? date('d.m.Y',$secondTuesday):$today ;


  ?>

One way is to compare this tuesday to today, if it is lower than today so next tuesday is next week :

$today = new DateTime("today");
$tuesday = new DateTime("this tuesday");
if($today > $tuesday){
   $tuesday->modify("next tuesday");
}

please review this code

<?php

 $day=date('D');
if($day=='r'){
    $date=date('Y-m-d');
}else{
    $date=date('Y-m-d',strtotime('next tuesday'));
}
echo $date;
?>
