Does it go back to the previous Monday if the current day is a Monday?

<?php
$date =3D ; //some timestamp

//strftime('%w') gives day of the week 0-6
$day =3D intval(strftime('%w',$date));

//change to < if the same monday is OK)
$day_diff =3D (($day =3D=3D 0) ? 6 : $day - 1)*(60*60*24);

$start =3D $date - (60*60*24*7) - $day_diff;
$end =3D $start + (60*60*24*6);
?>
