How to get penultimate monday of the month?

I can create DateTime Objects with string parameter to get dates, like this.

$first = new \DateTime("first monday of july 2015");
$second = new \DateTime("last tuesday of july 2015");
$third = new \DateTime("first monday of january 2015");

But how can i get penultimate monday of july?

You can do it by DateInterval example

$last = new \DateTime("last monday of july 2015");
$penultimate = $last->sub(new \DateInterval('P7D'));

Variable $penultimate will be last Monday minus 7 days what is penultimate Monday of july

The penultimate mondoay of july is always 7 days before the last monday in july, so you can do:

$last = new \DateTime("last monday of july 2015");
$penultimate = $last -7;
