March this year has 5 days in its first week, not 4; Wednesday 1st through Sunday 5th makes the first week on this side of the month.

So you can simply use the date of the first Sunday of each month to achieve your result

$first_sunday = new DateTime('first sunday of this month');
echo $first_sunday->format("j"); // Output: 5 for March 2017
