would be neat if one could just say 'second tue of june 2011'
strtotime or DateTime
$month = 'june';
$year = 2011;
$a = array('first', 'second', 'third', 'fourth', 'fifth');
$d = array('sun', 'mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat');
$when = $a[1];
$day = $d[2];
$date = new DateTime("$year-$month-01");
$month = $date->format('F');
$date->modify("$when $day of $month 2011");
$ThisMonth = $date->format('l F d, Y');
$ThisMonth = (preg_match("/$month \d{2}, $year/", $ThisMonth))?$ThisMonth
:"no $when $day";
print "<div>".$ThisMonth."</div>";
$date->modify("+1 month");
$month = $date->format('F');
$NextMonth = $date->modify("$when $day of $month 2011");
$NextMonth = $NextMonth->format('l F d, Y');
$NextMonth = (preg_match("/$month \d{2}, $year/", $NextMonth))?$NextMonth
:"no $when $day";
print "<div>".$NextMonth."</div>";
