Here is how you get the unixtime for Monday (00:00:00) and Sunday (23:59:59)

/* How many days today is from Monday */
$frommonday=date('N')-1;

/* Monday. we use (todays month) and (todays day minus days from Monday) */
$monday=mktime(0,0,0,date('m'),date('j')-$frommonday);

/* Sonday, wse use (todays month) and (todays day plus max days to Sunday
minus days from Monday)*/
$sunday=mktime(23,59,59,date('m'),date('j')+6-$frommonday);

So, do what you want with $monday and $sunday.
