I'm only an occasional PHP programmer, but googling PHP date found this:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
The first argument to date() is a format string.

In the code you quoted:
echo "The next meeting is on <b>" . date('l F dS', $meeting);

So it's calling date with 'l F dS' as a format string. Scrolling
down to where it documents the format strings:

l (lowercase 'L')  A full textual representation of the day of the week
F  A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March
d  Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros
S  English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters

Note those leading zeros on the description of d. Two lines below it,
they list:
j  Day of the month without leading zeros

So try changing the format string to 'l F jS' and see if that helps.

PHP, whatever its other faults may be, does have pretty good online
documentation.
