Answer 1

I'm not sure why this is so difficult - several solutions were really close here but were failing to find the FIRST and LAST day of a quarter. Quarters don't end on the first!

Modified from KLOZ above:

    $current_quarter = ceil(date('n') / 3);
    $first_day_of_this_quarter = date('m/d/Y', strtotime(date('Y').'-'.(($current_quarter*3)-2).'-1'));
    $last_day_of_this_quarter = date('m/d/Y', strtotime(date('Y').'-'.($current_quarter*3).'-'.(date("t",date('Y').'-'.($current_quarter*3).'-1'))));
