PHP strtotime wrong on March 2009?

[dlite922]

I'm not sure if it's a bug or maybe some weird way strtotime() works, but I need dates for

1. Second Sunday of March
2. First Sunday of November

for any given year (mostly current year).

This

 
echo "SPRING DST = " , date('M d Y ',strtotime("Second Sunday March")) , 
      "<br>FALL DST = " , date('M d Y ',strtotime("First Sunday November"));
 
 
 

Outputs:

SPRING DST = Apr 05 2009
FALL DST = Nov 29 2009 
 
//expected Output
SPRING DST = Mar 08 2009
FALL DST = Nov 01 2009 
 

I tried other input variations and got other false outputs.

What gives?

Well, I finally stumbled on something that gives me that.

Here you go:

echo "SPRING DST = " , date('M d Y ',strtotime("March 2nd Sunday")) , 
      "<br>FALL DST = " , date('M d Y ',strtotime("November 1st Sunday"));
 
//outputs:
SPRING DST = Mar 08 2009
FALL DST = Nov 01 2009 
 

Hope that helped you,
