How to determine start of week with php?

I have a script which gets the monday of the week to be able to display a calendar by using a while loop, so it gets the monday of that week then list out 7 divs which correspond to a day of the week.

I thought it was working but today(sunday) it has start listing the week starting tomorrow(monday) why is this? the code I have is:

$days = date("j",strtotime("monday this week"));

That variable returns 8, meaning PHP thinks the week starts on a sunday?

You are better of relying on ISO8601 standard:

$dt = new DateTime();
$dt->setISODate($dt->format('o'), $dt->format('W'));
echo $dt->format('Y-m-j');

This should work for you:

echo $monday = date("j",strtotime('last monday', strtotime('tomorrow')));
