Description:
------------
strtotime() returns the same result for "first wednesday" and "second wednesday".  I ran this against 'today' - Aug 4 2003, but the code below should show the error on any day.


Reproduce code:
---------------
$t=strtotime("Aug 3 2003"); 

$r=strtotime("first wednesday",$t);
print(date('r',$r));

print("<br>");

$r=strtotime("second wednesday",$t);
print(date('r',$r));


Expected result:
----------------
two different dates a week apart

Actual result:
--------------
Wed Aug for both

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the existing bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Same bug as 2 other strtotime() bugs, which are currently opened.

Well I tried to search for similar bugs but did not find any that struck me as the same.  You say there are two but fail to mention which ones they are.  Can you help me out here?
