This is your order of evaluation of relative versus non-relative formats:

PHP Code:

$constructed = strtotime("2013-02-06 17:59:19");
$date = date('Y:m:d H:i:s', $constructed);
$final=date('Y:m:d H:i:s',strtotime("$date + 5 weekdays"));
print $final . PHP_EOL;// 2013:02:13 00:00:00 (which is correct for the criteria)

$final = date('Y:m:d H:i:s', strtotime("+5 weekdays $date"));
print $final . PHP_EOL; // 2013:02:13 17:59:19 (which is correct for the criteria) 


Edit:
In hindsight, this may be a bug. The relative should always apply *after* the absolute, unless its 'yesterday', 'midnight', 'today', 'noon', or 'tomorrow'. So that says that the above should work in either order which it certainly does not appear to.
I'd simply use the DateTime myself:

PHP Code:

$dt = new DateTime('2013-02-06 17:59:19');
$dt->add(DateInterval::createFromDateString('+5 weekday'));
print $dt->format('F j Y H:i:s'); 


Which gives me 'February 13 2013, 17:59:19' as the result.

Fou-Lu,

One thing I don't understand below comments can you brief.

These are *not* datetime.  These are strings and integers, don't mistake the two as the DateTime is an object type, not a scalar type.
