Attempting to get the first Monday of the first Week of the month. May 1st is a Sunday therefore the previous Monday is expected to be the first Monday.

$date = '2016-05-01';

$dateTimeObject = new DateTime($date, new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));
$dateTimeObject->modify('first monday of this week');
echo $dateTimeObject->format('d');

However this echos 02 which is the following week's Monday when it should be April 25?

succeed

Sunday would be the beginning of the week, so the first monday would be 2. – Devon Bessemer Jun 26 '16 at 16:46
