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

PHP 5.5.11

$firstWeekdayOfMonth = new DateTime('first weekday 0 jun 2016');

I don't know why, but the zero kind of force the strtotime parser to start at the beginning of the month considering the first day.
