Answer 1

$QuarterMonth = ["1" => ["Y-01-01","Y-03-31"],"2"=>["Y-04-01","Y-06-30"],"3"=>["Y-07-01","Y-09-30"],"4"=>["Y-10-01","Y-12-31"]];
$curMonth = date("m", time());

$qtr_month_from = date($QuarterMonth[ceil($curMonth/3)][0]);
$qtr_month_to = date($QuarterMonth[ceil($curMonth/3)][1]);

Answer 2

check this for this quarter.

 case 'this_quarter':

          $current_month = date('m');
          $current_year = date('Y');
          if($current_month>=1 && $current_month<=3)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-January-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-Januray 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-April-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-April 12:00:00 AM means end of 31 March
          }
          else  if($current_month>=4 && $current_month<=6)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-April-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-April 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-July-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-July 12:00:00 AM means end of 30 June
          }
          else  if($current_month>=7 && $current_month<=9)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-July-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-July 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-October-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-October 12:00:00 AM means end of 30 September
          }
          else  if($current_month>=10 && $current_month<=12)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-October-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-October 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-January-'.($current_year+1));  // timestamp or 1-January Next year 12:00:00 AM means end of 31 December this year
          }



        break;

Update : 2 and for last quarter

case 'last_quarter':

          $current_month = date('m');
          $current_year = date('Y');

          if($current_month>=1 && $current_month<=3)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-October-'.($current_year-1));  // timestamp or 1-October Last Year 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-January-'.$current_year);  // // timestamp or 1-January  12:00:00 AM means end of 31 December Last year
          } 
          else if($current_month>=4 && $current_month<=6)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-January-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-Januray 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-April-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-April 12:00:00 AM means end of 31 March
          }
          else  if($current_month>=7 && $current_month<=9)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-April-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-April 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-July-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-July 12:00:00 AM means end of 30 June
          }
          else  if($current_month>=10 && $current_month<=12)
          {
            $start_date = strtotime('1-July-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-July 12:00:00 AM
            $end_date = strtotime('1-October-'.$current_year);  // timestamp or 1-October 12:00:00 AM means end of 30 September
          }



        break;

Answer 3

$monthsFromStart = (date('n') - 1) % 3; // 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, ...
$monthsToEnd = 2 - $monthsFromStart; // 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, ...

$startDay = new DateTime("first day of -$monthsFromStart month midnight");
$endDay = new DateTime("last day of +$monthsToEnd month midnight");

Answer 4

Some answers are way too complicated IMO

public function getStartOfQuarter()
{
     return date(sprintf('Y-%s-01', floor((date('n') - 1) / 3) * 3 + 1));
}

public function getEndOfQuarter()
{
    return date(sprintf('Y-%s-t', floor((date('n') + 2) / 3) * 3));
}

Answer 5

Simple example:

define('DATE_FORMAT', 'Y-m-d');

function get_start_and_end_date($case) {
    $start = 'first day of ';
    $end = 'last day of ';

    if ($case == 'this_quarter') {
        $case = 'quarter_' . ceil((new DateTime)->format('n') / 3);
    }

    switch ($case) {
        case 'prev_month'    : $start .= 'previous month'; $end .= 'previous month'; break;
        default              :
        case 'this_month'    : $start .= 'this month';     $end .= 'this month';     break;
        case 'next_month'    : $start .= 'next month';     $end .= 'next month';     break;
        case 'first_quarter' :
        case 'quarter_1'     : $start .= 'January';        $end .= 'March';          break;
        case 'quarter_2'     : $start .= 'April';          $end .= 'June';           break;
        case 'quarter_3'     : $start .= 'July';           $end .= 'September';      break;
        case 'last_quarter'  :
        case 'quarter_4'     : $start .= 'October';        $end .= 'December';       break;
    }

    return [
        'start' => (new DateTime($start))->format(DATE_FORMAT),
        'end' => (new DateTime($end))->format(DATE_FORMAT),
    ];
}

Answer 6

I glimpsed over answers and all are about quarters of this year. Sometimes, you need quarter for particular date. Here is my attempt with detailed explanation what-does-what in code comments:

/**
     * get quarter begin/end date
     * 
     * possible usage:
     * quarter start date: quarter('2016-04-12')[start] - result: 2016-04-01
     * quarter end date: quarter('2016-04-12')[end] - result: 2016-06-30
     * quarter number: quarter('2016-04-12')[number] - result: 2
     * 
     * @param  string   $time   date you want quarter begin and end for - accepted formats, at least: 'Y-m', but also: 'Y-m-d', 'Y-m-d H:i:s' etc.
     * @return array    [quarter start, quarter end, quarter number]
     */
    public function quarter($time)
    {
        /**
         * get quarter number for given date
         * we are ceiling floating point value, so I use (int) casting to get just integer (without decimal part)
         * round() could be used instead of casting to (int)
         */
        $quarter = (int)ceil(date("m", strtotime($time)) / 3);
        $year = date("Y", strtotime($time));

        $quarters = [
            1 => ['01-01', '03-31', 1],
            2 => ['04-01', '06-30', 2],
            3 => ['07-01', '09-30', 3],
            4 => ['10-01', '12-31', 4],
        ];

        $quarterStart = $year . '-' . $quarters[$quarter][0];
        $quarterEnd = $year . '-' . $quarters[$quarter][1];
        $quarterNumber = $quarters[$quarter][2];

        return ['start' => $quarterStart, 'end' => $quarterEnd, 'number' => $quarterNumber];
    }
