This code fragment shows how to find the previous Sunday using PHP date/time functions. 
<?php
$current_time = time();
$last_sunday = $current_time - 86400 * date("w", $current_time);
$last_sunday_00_00_str = date('m/d/Y 00:00:00', $last_sunday);
$last_sunday_00_00_time = strtotime($last_sunday_00_00_str);

print "Current time: $current_time\n";
print "Last Sunday same time: $last_sunday\n";
print "Last Sunday 12:00AM: $last_sunday_00_00_str\n";
print "Last Sunday 12:00AM: $last_sunday_00_00_time, " . 
      " formatted: " . strftime("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S", $last_sunday_00_00_time) . "\n";
?>


Sample output: 
Current time: 1303316297
Last Sunday same time: 1303057097
Last Sunday 12:00AM: 04/17/2011 00:00:00
Last Sunday 12:00AM: 1303016400,  formatted: 04/17/2011 00:00:00
