Description:
------------
In reproduce code :

strtotime('Monday') returns the timestamp of Sunday/23h, but other ones are okay.

This may be related to the current date (bug submited and results obtained on Tuesday 21st) as there is no bug when querying the timestamp of a day-of-week that's not yet passed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

$a = array("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday");

foreach ($a as $wd) echo date("d-m-Y H:i:s", strtotime($wd))."\n";

?>


Expected result:
----------------
27-10-2003 00:00:00
21-10-2003 00:00:00
22-10-2003 00:00:00
23-10-2003 00:00:00
24-10-2003 00:00:00
25-10-2003 00:00:00
26-10-2003 00:00:00


Actual result:
--------------
26-10-2003 23:00:00
21-10-2003 00:00:00
22-10-2003 00:00:00
23-10-2003 00:00:00
24-10-2003 00:00:00
25-10-2003 00:00:00

We are happy to tell you that you just discovered Daylight Savings
Time. For more information see:
http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
Instead of using mktime/date consider using gmmktime and gmdate which do
not suffer from DST.
