strtotime – Two mondays ago??

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 12.2006

Okay, is there any way to tell strtotime a particular day and the number of them ago? I was wondering if I could do it without first figuring out what today is. Strtotime(“Two Mondays ago”) does not work so I’m not sure if it’s possible. I need to start a report on Monday but, based on when a user may visit the page, it may be before the following Monday or after it when they visit the site so, simply saying strtotime(“Last Monday”) may simply find a day or two ago instead of 8 or 9 days ago.

@chazzyApr 12.2006 — is this based on data a database somewhere? where are you getting your dates from?

@ephmynusauthorApr 12.2006 — Today. But, based on when the page is visited, today might be Sunday or Tuesday, which messes up the whole Last Monday thing. I think I've just decided to go a different way though. Thanks anyhow.
