Answer 1

Try this -

<?php
$startDate = "2014-06-01";
$endDate = "2014-06-30";

$startDate = strtotime($startDate);
$endDate = strtotime($endDate);

for($i = strtotime('Monday', $startDate); $i <= $endDate; $i = strtotime('+1 week', $i))
    echo date('l Y-m-d', $i).PHP_EOL;

Answer 2

Try to create an array with all your date with day on key (with variable $day and $date):

$array = array("Monday" => "2014-06-02", "Tuesday" => "2014-06-03", "Wednesday" => "2014-06-04");

You create a loop to reach all the result :

foreach($array as $key => $value {
    if($key == "Monday")
       echo $value;
}

Answer 3

Using the above, I created this so you can use variables to define the month, year, and selected weekday.

$month = "6";
$year = "2022";
$weekday = "Tuesday";

$d=cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN,$month,$year);
$first_date_of_month = $year."-".$month."-01";
$last_date_of_month = $year."-".$month."-".$d;

$startDate = strtotime($first_date_of_month);
$endDate = strtotime($last_date_of_month);

for($i = strtotime($weekday, $startDate); $i <= $endDate; $i = strtotime('+1 week', $i))
    echo "<br />". date('l Y-m-d', $i).PHP_EOL;
