How to figure out if today is 1st, 2nd, 3rd Thurs of the month?

My brain is frozen on a convenient way to figure out if today is the
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or last Thursday of the month. Basically I need
something that will figure this out for any given day for any given month.

date() has everything BUT a 0-5 return for this.

Uncoded, but the logic would look something like

Get whatever today's date is.
Divide by 7
In a non-whole result, round up to the nearest whole number.
That is the iteration of that day in that month.

Try this:
$day1=mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),1);
$w=strtotime('this Sunday',$day1);
$weekn=floor(time()-$w)/(7*24*3600));
if(date('w')>=date('w',$day1)) $weekn++;
return $weekn;
