获取当前年份的开始和结束日期时发出

Question

I searched a lot on Google to get the start and end date of the current year. Now, After 2 hours of search, posted the query here.

Below is what i have tried so far. but not working.

$date = date('Y-m-d');
$startDate = new \DateTime($date);
$endDate = new \DateTime($date);
$endDate->modify("+1 day -1 second");

can you please guide me in right direction ?

Answer 1

To get the start date: date('Y-01-01') and end date date('Y-12-31').

If you use Carbon, to get the weekdays:

$year = date('Y');
$date = Carbon::create($year, 12, 31, 0, 0, 0);
$date->toDateTimeString($year, 12, 31, 0, 0, 0);  // 2016-12-31 00:00:00
$date->format('l'); // Saturday

$date2 = Carbon::create($year, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);
$date2->toDateTimeString($year, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0);  // 2016-01-01 00:00:00
$date2->format('l'); // Firday
