strtotime result makes no sense, php bug?

Question

The following line:

echo date(\'d\', strtotime(\'First Saturday August 2015\'));

prints 08, which doesn\'t seem to make any sense

Answer 1

You need an 'of':

date('d/m/Y', strtotime('First Saturday of August 2015'))

see the manual: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php
