Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63227&edit=1 ID: 63227 Comment by: murden at gmail dot com Reported by: helgeson dot b at gmail dot com Summary: strtotime - weekday in a month where that weekday was the first day adds 1 week Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: * PHP Version: 7.0.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I've found something that seems to be related? running strtotime on a string like ("2nd monday") adds a week to the date on months where the requested week day is the 1st day of the month. Like, will also happen on ("1st Saturday") when the month starts on a Saturday.

Bug #43452 has been fixed as of PHP 5.2.7[1], but apparently the fix only affects week numbers given as proper number[2], but not as ordinal string[3].
