    last saturday seems to be interpreted as “previous saturday” in some constellations.

    This is what works for me on PHP 5.3 on Windows 7: Jump to next month’s first day, and look for last saturday.

     $nextMonthStart = mktime(0,0,0,date('m')+1,1,date('Y'));
 $last_saturday = date("d.m.Y",strtotime("previous saturday", $nextMonthStart));

    works for me even in the edge case that the first day of next month is a saturday.
