Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php march 30 - 1 month = feb 30; that doesn't exist and is the same as march 1. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-30 07:14:55] eparis at plurimedia dot fr Description: ------------ Since today (2004-03-30), we experience a calculation error when using strtotime("-1 month") to get previous month date. Maybe this error is due to the fact that 2004 is a bissextile year. The last bissextile year was 1996. Reproduce code: --------------- The actual computer date must be 2004-03-30. <? print strftime("%Y-%m-%d", strtotime("-1 month"))."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 2004-02-29 Actual result: -------------- 2004-03-01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27774&edit=1
