Here's the best I can get.  Sometimes I had to use ^V ^J to get the
newlines correct.  I don't know PHP, but I presume it must have a
"system()" call if you're planning to use remind.

herman-pts/7:~% echo "
rem thu 8 msg 2nd thursday
rem thu 22 msg 4th thursday
" | remind -s1 - 1 nov 2014
2014/11/13 * * * * 2nd thursday
2014/11/27 * * * * 4th thursday

herman-pts/7:~% echo "

rem thu 22 msg 4th thursday                              
" | remind -s1 - 1 dec 2014
