New Comment:
In PHP 4.2.3, the difference between "2" and "next" are still screwy in
strtotime(). I'm trying to parse icalendar recurrence formats, so I
need to calculate things like the "second Monday" in a month. Sample
code below illustrates the difference between "2" and "next" (which
should be identical).
<?
$start = strtotime('September 1, 2002');
echo ('Start timestamp: '.$start.'<br>');
echo ('Start date: Sunday, Sep 1 2002<br>');
$first = strtotime('first Monday',$start);
echo ('"First" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$first).'<br>');
$oneth = strtotime('1 Monday',$start);
echo ('"1" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$oneth).'<br>');
$next = strtotime('next Monday',$start);
echo ('"Next" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$next).'<br>');
$twoth = strtotime('2 Monday',$start);
echo ('"2" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$twoth).'<br>');
$third = strtotime('third Monday',$start);
echo ('"Third" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$third).'<br>');
$threeth = strtotime('3 Monday',$start);
echo ('"3" Monday: '.date('l, M d Y',$threeth).'<br>');
?>

Sebastian, yes, that is because I changed how "next" works based on bug
report #18655
It works correctly for days now, but it does seem like month-handling
is messed up now.

The problem is that it adds a full month to the current timestamp. So
you end up getting the 31st of the next month and some months do not
have 31 days. I'll need to do some reading to determine if strtotime()
is supposed to pick the beginning of the next month instead, or perhaps
the middle.

Strange... With PHP4.3.0-dev-200207300000 on Compaq Tru64 the output is
"July October December".
