Maybe, you should try this (I'm not sure)
Of course, it's necessary to test the input values of the function.

<?
function weekdayAfter($date,$day){
return date('d M Y',strtotime($day, strtotime($date)));
}

echo 'First Monday after 28 July 2005 is ';
echo weekdayAfter("28 July 2005", "Monday");

?>

It seems to work except if you are on Monday (in fact, it depends on
what you want to do). In this case, you have to use "next Monday" with
strtotime function.

Take a look at the strtotime function: http://www.php.net/function.strtotime
