First method:

  $oneDay  = 86400; // number of seconds in a day
  $today   = date( "U" );
  $weekAgo = $today - ( $oneDay * 7 );
  echo "One week ago was: " . date( "F d, Y", $weekAgo ) . "<br>\n";

Second method:

  $week = strtotime("-1 week");
  or
  $week = strtotime("-7 days");
  echo date("l jS F", $week);
