Description:
------------
I am attempting to create a listing for a recurring User Group event at https://www.php.net/submit-event.php

When I select "First Wednesday of the month" on the form and click "Preview", it displays "First Tuesday of the month" in the preview. To get "First Wednesday", I have to select "Thursday" from the drop-down. In other words, the day displayed in the preview is a day before what's displayed on the form.

I note that the list is shown Monday-first; perhaps there is a mismatch with a system expecting Sunday-first ordering. In case it's relevant, my browser is set to Europe/London timezone and en-GB locale.

That depends on the current year, since the list is generated from
the first seven days of April[1].  The preview seems to use the
submitted month instead[2], what would explain the reported
behavior for September.  Apparently, after actual form submission
the day is calculated for April 2001[3] which likely yields yet
another result.
