Description:
------------
When trying to get relative dates, strtotime() gives incorrect result for relative format "{weekday} this week" when the base date is Sunday. It should return the same day, as it does with other weekdays, but it returns next week's day.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

error_reporting( -1 );
date_default_timezone_set( "Europe/Bratislava" );

for ( $i = 0; $i < 7; $i++ )
{

	$base = strtotime( "2011/01/17 +$i days 12:00:00" );
	$weekday = date( "l", $base );
	$relative = strtotime( "$weekday this week 12:00:00", $base );
	
	echo date( "l Y/m/d", $base ), "\n", date( "l Y/m/d", $relative ), "\n\n";
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Monday 2011/01/17
Monday 2011/01/17

Tuesday 2011/01/18
Tuesday 2011/01/18

Bug persists (php 5.3.10), in our country (Czech) week start on Monday. 
If you set Saturday for example (31-03-2012) on your machine 
var_dump(new DateTime('monday this week'));//26-03-2012

Now let's set Sunday (01-04-2012) on your machine
var_dump(new DateTime('monday this week'));//actual 02-04-2012, expected 26-03-
2012

help is variable set first day of week.

A variation on this is that the following code run on a saturday or sunday yields monday's date, not the same date as one would expect. Tried on PHP 5.6 on Windows.

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+0 weekdays"));

However,

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime("+0 days"));

Works as expected.
