PHP date() issues...

[RIRedinPA]

I'm trying to write a function that'll give me the days of the week of any submitted date. This keep returning 1/30/2011 even though I am submitting 1/05/2011 (the Monday should be 1/03/2011)...I know it's incomplete I'm just trying to get the Monday right now

 

function getWeekDays($date) { 
    	
//convert string to date
$thisdate = date($date);


$dow = idate('w', mktime(0,0,0,$thisdate));
    	
if ($dow == 1) { 
	$monday = date('m/d/Y', mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d', $thisdate), date('Y')));
} else if ($dow == 2) { 
	$monday = date('m/d/Y', mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d', $thisdate) - 1, date('Y')));
} else if ($dow == 3) { 
	$monday = date('m/d/Y', mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d', $thisdate) - 2, date('Y')));
} else if ($dow == 4) { 
	$monday = date('m/d/Y', mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d', $thisdate) - 3, date('Y')));
} else if ($dow == 5) { 
	$monday = date('m/d/Y', mktime(0,0,0, date('m'), date('d', $thisdate) - 4, date('Y')));
}

$weekarray = array($thisdate);

    return $weekarray;
}

[RIRedinPA]

$weekarray = array($thisdate);

 

should be

 

$weekarray = array($monday);

 

Still returning 1/30/2011 for a 1/5/2011 date...

I posted a tested function that returns the Monday of the week for a given date in your other thread on this topic.
