Description:
------------
Tested on Windows 7: 
  Apache/2.2.16 (Win32) PHP/5.3.5
Tested on Fedora 14: 
  Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Linux 2.6.35.4-rscloud x86_64 
  php.x86_64 5.3.8-3.fc14
These are the latest stable versions I can find for these two systems.  (Especially since V6 binaries are no longer available for Windows.)
The Linux system is a live server using a framework that has not been tested with any later versions than 5.3.8

When modifying a DateTime instance with "+5 weekdays" it will return a date for a Sunday and not a weekday.

Running the Test script you note that the section for "5" returns Sunday.  All the other numbers are correct.  Note the pattern for skipping the weekends is always for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  However for "+5" weekends should be skipped for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, which is different than for any other number.

Test script:
---------------
$days = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,);
$dates = array('2012-03-29','2012-03-30','2012-03-31','2012-04-01','2012-04-02','2012-04-03','2012-04-04','2012-04-05',);
foreach ($days as $businessdays)
{
	foreach ($dates as $startdate)
	{
		$start = new DateTime($startdate);
		$date = new DateTime($startdate);
		echo '<br/>'.$businessdays.' : '.$date->format('l').' : '.$date->format('Y-m-d');
		$date->modify("+{$businessdays} weekdays");
		echo ' : '.$date->format('Y-m-d').' : '.$date->format('l');
	}
	echo '<br/>';
}



Expected result:
----------------
...

I check the php manual, there is no weekdays parameter for modify. So you have to 
use modify(+ n day) or modify(+ n week).
