This has been corrected in 5.2.7 and later versions." Contrary to the above, this bug still exists in PHP 5.2.13, 5.2.14, and 5.3.3. Test script: --------------- <?php date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York"); echo date("D, M j Y", strtotime("first Saturday January 2011 8:00pm")) . "\n"; echo date("D, M j Y", strtotime("third Saturday January 2011 8:00pm")) . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Sat, Jan 1 2011 Sat, Jan 15 2011 Actual result: -------------- Sat, Jan 8 2011 Sat, Jan 22 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53539&edit=1
