Getting first weekday in a month with strtotime

Question

I\'m trying to figure out the first wednesday of a given month using strtotime, but the \"first wednesday\" argument fails whenever the first wednesday happens

Answer 1

I found this note in the PHP manual.

"In PHP 5 prior to 5.2.7, requesting a given occurrence of a given weekday in a month where that weekday was the first day of the month would incorrectly add one week to the returned timestamp. This has been corrected in 5.2.7 and later versions."
