Nah, wrong approach. Assigning to myself.

Could someone sanity check this patch?

Not a bug (it is not supposed to work), making it a feature request.

PHP does not correctly parse ordinal date suffixes in the strtotime()
function. For example:
<?php
echo strtotime("10th August 2002");
echo strtotime("22nd January 1998");
echo strtotime("November 3rd 1980");
?>
They will all fail, returning -1.
