Answer 1

You can subtract 7 days to the start of current week or subtract 7 days from now and get the start of the week.

$startOfCurrentWeek = Carbon::now()->startOfWeek(); 

$startOfLastWeek  = $startOfCurrentWeek->copy()->subDays(7);
$startOfLastWeek  = Carbon::now()->subDays(7)->startOfWeek();

And the same to get the end of the last week.

Answer 2

The answer of Porloscerros is correct but need a little bit fix:

$startOfCurrentWeek = Carbon::now()->startOfWeek(); 

$startOfLastWeek  = $startOfCurrentWeek->copy()->subDays(7);

$startOfLastWeek  = Carbon::now()->subDays(7)->startOfWeek()->endOfDay();

with ->endOfDay() This will return 23:59:59 9999.99 instead of 00:00:00 (beginning of the day)

or you can use ->endOfWeek() for the same result

Answer 3

Similar to answers above but more clear:

$startOfLastWeek = Carbon::now()->subDays(7)->startOfWeek();
$endOfLastWeek = Carbon::now()->subDays(7)->endOfWeek();

1. It substracts 7 days from the current time (which goes to the last week) and startOfWeek gets the starting date and time of that week.
2. It substracts 7 days from the current time (which goes to the last week) and endOfWeek gets the ending date and time of that week.

Result/Example?

If current time is 2022-04-27 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00) then it results as follows:

1. 2022-04-18 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00)
2. 2022-04-24 23:59:59.999999 UTC (+00:00)
