Description:
------------
When using PHP date function for finding the first Monday, Tuesday etc, if the particular day is first of that month , it will return very next result

For example,

date("Y-m-d", strtotime("first monday 2019-07"));
Actually first Monday of July 2019 is 2019-07-01, but when we run this code its returning result as 2019-07-08

this is consistent with 
> echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime("first day",strtotime("2019-07-01")));
which outputs 2019-07-02

however `date -d 'first monday 2019-07-01` correctly outputs Mon 01 Jul - so I'm not sure if this is a bug

this might be a duplicate of bug #77941

Apparently, prepositions matter here:

    date("Y-m-d", strtotime("first monday of 2019-07"))

gives the desired result.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected. "2019-07" means "2029-07-01" and "first monday" means: move one Monday ahead, which is documented at https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php
