It seems different php versions have different outputs for this code:
Fedora Core 14 (x86):
first: 01-03-2011 00:00:00
second: 08-03-2011 00:00:00
third: 22-03-2011 00:00:00
fourth: 22-03-2011 00:00:00
fifth: 29-03-2011 00:00:00
Fedora Core11 (x86_64):
first: 31-12-1969 16:00:00
second: 31-12-1969 16:00:00
third: 22-03-2011 00:00:00
fourth: 31-12-1969 16:00:00
fifth: 31-12-1969 16:00:00
However it works if reorder Year and Month like:
echo "first: ".date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('2011 March first
wednesday'))."\n";
echo "second: ".date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('2011 March second
wednesday'))."\n";
echo "third: ".date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('2011 March third
wednesday'))."\n";
echo "fourth: ".date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('2011 March fourth
wednesday'))."\n";
echo "fifth: ".date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('2011 March fifth
wednesday'))."\n";
first: 02-03-2011 00:00:00
second: 09-03-2011 00:00:00
third: 16-03-2011 00:00:00
fourth: 23-03-2011 00:00:00
fifth: 30-03-2011 00:00:00
