Well I guess this should be a feature change report, because
anyone with some common sense would conclude that "next month"
would mean June, not July. Do you go saying "I am going to be
going on holiday first month"

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. 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
first means +1
next means +2
second means +2
... so either use "first month" or "+1 month". No bug here.

Description:
------------
This bug is fairly self explanatory. But for those who need
things to be explained, basically if you enter "next month"
into strtotime you would expect it to give the current time
+ one month, but it gives the current time + 2 months. Tried
on several machines same result, seems to have the same
effect in 5.0.3. I believe there are also problems with
'next week' etc etc.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo date('F j, Y, g:i a');
echo date('F j, Y, g:i a', strtotime('next month'));
?>
Expected result:
----------------

June 12, 2005, 5:42 pm
Obviously the dates will be different when you do this.
Actual result:
--------------
May 12, 2005, 5:42 pm
July 12, 2005, 5:42 pm
