如何在php中将用户选择的日期更改为服务器的当前周日期？

Question

Hello i am working with a small application where user selects a week day from this select option:

   <select name="selectOption" class="dropdown-select">
      <option value="">Select a day!</option>
      <option value="Monday">Monday</option>
      <option value="Tuesday">Tuesday</option>
      <option value="Wednesday">Wednesday</option>
      <option value="Thursday">Thursday</option>
      <option value="Friday">Friday</option>
      <option value="Saturday">Saturday</option>                            
   </select>

When i store it in a variable i get this : $selectedDay = $_POST['selectOption']; //Monday,Tuesday etc. From this point i want to convert this day into server's current week date. For example when a user selects Thursday i want to convert it into 16-04-2015 because it is the current week's date for Thursday. It should only work for the current week. I could have used date picker straight forward but i want it to happen this way. Can anyone help?

You can use strtotime() and date():

echo date('d-m-Y', strtotime('this Thursday'));
