I need to calculate the following

$todays_date = date('Y-m-d');

I want to take todays date and find the previouse sunday and return a variable in the same format as the $todays_date = date('Y-m-d'); variable.

I would try something like:

$test_timestamp = todays timestamp;

for( $i=0; $i<7; $i++){
{
$test_timestamp = test_timestamp - 1 day
$test_day = date("D")
if( $test_day == "Sun" )
{ break; }
}

the idea is to have the loop test the name of each day, going backwards by one day for each iteration. if the day is == to Sun, then you've found it. after the loop, $test_timestamp will have the date that you want, so you can output it like:

echo date( "Y m d", $test_timestamp );
