First or Last Period Date
=========================

[](#first-or-last-period-date)

Get the First or Last Day of a Week, Month, Quarter or Year in PHP is a slight retouched of [@davgothic](https://github.com/davgothic) First/Last Day Period [2013 Work](https://davidhancock.co/2013/11/get-the-firstlast-day-of-a-week-month-quarter-or-year-in-php/).

If you've ever needed to find the first or last day of a given period and you're rocking a PHP version greater than or equal to 5.2, today is your lucky day!
Both functions used returns a DateTime object, so you can output the date in any format available to the PHP date() function.
