Today is Saturday, 10/15. date('now','-7 days') is the last Saturday, 10/8.
date('now','-7 days','Weekday 0') is the nearest Sunday on or after 10/8 - that
is, the Sunday of 10/9. Similarly, date('now','-7 days','Weekday 6') is the
nearest Saturday on or after 10/8 - that is, 10/8 itself. Since 10/9 is greater
than 10/8, there are no dates that fall between them.
This inversion would hapeen every day except on a Sunday.
You might want something like this:
between date('now','Weekday 0', '-7 days') and date('now', 'Weekday 0', '-1
days')
That's always the nearest previous Sunday through the following Saturday (which
may be in the past or in the future). Adjust to taste.
