#1 Get the start and end time of a week

Demonstration of the function works.

Let pass into the function the date 3 March 2017 which has a week starting with 27 Feb and ending with 5 March:

$arr = get_weekstartend( '2017-03-03' );

As a result, $arr will contain the following array

Array(
	[start] => 1488153600 // 2017-02-27 00:00:00 - Monday
	[end] => 1488758399 // 2017-03-05 23:59:59 - Sunday
)
