php first monday after certain date as string

Question

I have a date given as a string. And I would like to get the first monday after this given date, again as a string.

$myDate = "2014-08-24"; // date given in Y-m-d
$nextMonday = ??? // how to get the next monday after $myDate?

This sounds like a question that was solved before, like PHP get next occurrence of Monday from a certain date (with time) or When a date is given how to get the date of Monday of that week in php. But it actually is a different problem, because I am running into a lot of conversion issues and a little bit confused how to solve this.

“But it actually is a different problem, because I am running into a lot of conversion issues” – you neglected to describe what those issues actually are. — C3roe

you can use this

<?php
$myDate = "2014-08-27";
$next_monday = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("next monday", strtotime($myDate)));
echo $next_monday;
?>

OUTPUT :

2014-09-01

$date = new DateTime('2014-08-24');
$date->modify('next monday');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . "\n";
