Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is expected, and documented in the second note at https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php: 2. "number dayname" does not advance to another day. (Example: "1 wednesday july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-23"). 4. "ordinal dayname" does advance to another day. (Example "first wednesday july 23rd, 2008" means "2008-07-30"). $ php <?php echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("second monday october 2012")), "\n"; echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("2 monday october 2012")), "\n"; ?> 2012-10-15 2012-10-08 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-02-13 13:43:49] murden at gmail dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-25 12:36:54] cmb@php.net > Maybe update the documentation to reflect the version the bug > was actually corrected in? 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].
