How's this for a short and simple test script?
Applies strtotime() to every day between 1970 and 2037, and gives a
list of everything that looks wrong.
======================================================
<?php
$request_day = "Monday";
for ($i=1; ; $i++) {
// start at year 1970, bail out at year 2038
$tStamp = mktime (17,17,17,1,$i,1970);
if (date("Y", $tStamp) == 2038) break;
// request a day, check what we got, complain if differs
$strtotime_timestamp = strtotime ($request_day, $tStamp);
$result_day = date("l", $strtotime_timestamp);
if ($result_day != $request_day)
print "strtotime wrong on: " . date("j-M-Y", $tStamp) .
" - gave a $result_day, not a $request_day.\n";
}
?>

I'm pretty sure the script is buggy. Please give us a test case for ONE
date that is wrong, and comment your code properly too.

Can you please give a simpler test? (I somehow have a feeling your
script is buggy, not PHP)

It appears that this problem has not been resolved.
I've downloaded the latest Stable Win32 package snapshot from
http://snaps.php.net/ , in particular this one:
http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-200404080430.zip [I.e.
from roughly 5 after this bug was closed]
Then I've run the test script on it from an above comment.
This produces the following results:

What I would expect to happen is that there would not be any
discrepancies. The fact there are discrepancies indicates to me that
this problem is still unresolved.
I understand that there have been two date-related problems solved
recently (#27719 and #27780), but whatever updates were made for those
problems do not appear to have fixed this problem.

This is a DST problem by the looks of it. The specific dates mentioned
are when DST takes effect which is the last sunday in March.
