SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT('1,', ((QUARTER(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 MONTH)) * 3) - 2), ',', YEAR(NOW())),'%d,%m,%Y')) |
lol! Thanks @jeffreyroberts.
The sql one is incorrect I think as it appends the current year. So in January it will give you October 10th 2016 instead of 2015.
great idea.
i needed an end date of the quarter for a range.
if anybody is in need, try this:
$end_timestamp = strtotime('last day of '.date('F', strtotime("+2 month",strtotime(date('F',$start_timestamp)."1")))." {$start_year}");

ok, this code is mad tight, the only solutions I am coming up with involve switch/case statements, based on either the number representation of the month or the day, with ranges in the cases, and I see bugs with that, kudos to a hell of a job =]
