php for this week and next

I can get the date of the Monday for the current week, but how do I get it to display "and (the date for the monday of next week)"?

For example, "March 6 and 13, 2017"

This is what I have so far:

<?php echo date('F j, Y',strtotime(date('o-\WW')));?>

An exact script:

$this_monday = date("F j", strtotime("Monday this week"));
$next_monday = date("j, Y", strtotime("Monday next week"));

echo $this_monday . " and " . $next_monday;

The problem will be crossing months. If you need to do that, you'll need more logic, perhaps something like:

$this_monday = strtotime("Monday this week");
$next_monday = strtotime("Monday next week");

if (date("F",$this_monday) === date("F",$next_monday)) {

    echo date("F j", $this_monday) . " and " . date("j, Y", $next_monday);

} else {

    echo date("F j", $this_monday) . " and " . date("F j, Y", $next_monday);
}

Someone may come along and suggest using the Datetime class instead, and that might be something to put on your list to learn, as well.

You can use the far more readable:

echo date('F j, Y',strtotime('Monday this week'));
echo date('F j, Y',strtotime('Monday next week'));
