Example: The expected output of strtotime('January 2018 third Monday') is the timestamp for '2018-01-15', which is the third Monday of January 2018. Instead, strtotime() outputs the timestamp for '2018-01-22', which is the fourth Monday of January 2018 because that month starts on a Monday. Test script: --------------- print 'Expected: 2018-01-15. Result: ' . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('january 2018 third monday')); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75780&edit=1
