what i need is that "monday" means "monday this week", regardless of
whether i ask on monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday,
saturday or sunday.
the way php works now, i have to something like this:
if(date("l") == "monday")
$from = date("Y-m-d"); // if today if monday, just give today's date
else
$from = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("last monday")); // when asking on
tuesday thru sunday
it would be nice if strtotime understood the form "monday this week".

I don't see how you figure "clearly makes a mistake". For instance the
following script illustrates a VERY clear behaviour that doesn't seem
mistaken to me, it seems more like a design choice:
<?php
$days = array
(
'Monday',
'Tuesday',
'Wednesday',
'Thursday',
'Friday',
'Saturday',
'Sunday',
);
foreach( $days as $day )
{
echo date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( $day ) ).' ('.$day.")\n";
}
?>
You'll notice that it always presents the first such date from TODAY
ONWARDS.
With that in mind it is trivial to get the date YOU want.
Cheers,
Rob.
