I think what you’re looking for is strtotime()

Assuming that you have the original date in $dt and want Saturday’s date in $dt1 then we can do:

$dt1 = DateTime::createFromFormat(('Y-m-d', date('Y-m-',$dt).(6+date('j',$dt)-date('w',$dt)));

thanks but what is the format of $dt?

when i run this code $dt=date("d"); $dt1 = DateTime::createFromFormat(('Y-m-d',date('Y-m-',$dt).(6+date('j',$dt)-date('w',$dt))); echo $dt1;

i get this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in ...
this error belongs to line of $dt1 = DateTime::createFromFormat(('Y-m-d', date('Y-m-',$dt).(6+date('j',$dt)-date('w',$dt)));

i think i maked a mistake,the format of $dt?

$dt would be a date object.

i have same parse error,Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘,’ in …

`$dt = new DateTime(‘02/31/2011’);

$dt1 = DateTime::createFromFormat((‘Y-m-d’,date(‘Y-m-’,$dt).(6+date(‘j’,$dt)-date(‘w’,$dt)));
echo $dt1;`
