Description:
------------
https://3v4l.org/hrZsA

It works as expected at monday to saturday. But on sunday, it always returns monday no matter what weekday you give it, except sunday, that one works.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Monday next week 13:00'));
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Tuesday next week 14:00'));
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Wednesday next week 14:00'));
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Thursday next week 15:00'));
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Friday next week 16:00'));
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Saturday next week 17:00'));
var_dump(new DateTimeImmutable('Sunday next week 18:00'));

Expected result:
----------------
2016-08-08 13:00:00
2016-08-09 14:00:00
2016-08-10 14:00:00
2016-08-11 15:00:00
2016-08-12 16:00:00
2016-08-13 17:00:00
2016-08-14 18:00:00

Actual result:
--------------
Output for 5.6.23 - 5.6.24, 7.0.8 - 7.1.0beta1
2016-08-01 13:00:00

Fixed the title, as the preview function on bugs.php.net is buggy and reset's it when you click edit the preview :-/

Thanks Damian, didn't find that one :-/

Anyway, I don't like that it's closed, as this broke BC in patch version. Would be acceptable in 7.1, but look at the versions in the actual output. I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

Also, I think you've overlooked an important detail. The provided code is broken on every Sunday, but for example today, it's working according to my expectation :) 

This inconsistency is a big problem, since you can write something at Tuesday and it works, so you deploy it at Friday and on Sunday it breaks.

No, you're right: this is a bug. I got hung up on the Sunday/Monday week issue and missed the different result seen only on Sundays.

Old behavior (pre-PHP 5.6.23/7.0.8), Sunday and Monday were considered part of the same week but Monday was the start of the week. This was clearly a bug (bug #63740). New behavior is that Sunday and Monday are in different weeks. https://3v4l.org/nXoDJ

However it appears that the fix introduced what you're seeing now. On a Sunday, "$dayname $reltext week" effectively ignores the $dayname.

https://3v4l.org/qv8vI - Sunday behaves differently than the rest of the week
https://3v4l.org/XtSCi - no difference between "$dayname next week" and "next week $dayname"
https://3v4l.org/fmCoi - unsurprisingly, "this week" has the same problem

It should do that on every weekday if the current day is that weekday.

> no difference between "$dayname next week" and "next week $dayname"

That is correct too. The order does not matter. The whole string is parsed in one go. Elements in it, are not applied in order.

Relative to Sun 2016-07-31 
Mon next week = Mon 2016-08-01 
Tue next week = Mon 2016-08-01 
Wed next week = Mon 2016-08-01 
Thu next week = Mon 2016-08-01 
Fri next week = Mon 2016-08-01 
Sat next week = Mon 2016-08-01 
Sun next week = Sun 2016-08-07

This indeed looks like a bug. I will need to check that.
