I've been thinking about this, but the other way I could come up with is by passing a complex array instead of the textual description, something like: $modi = array('month' => 1); But then does that mean: next month, month 1 (january) or "first month"... I'm open here for other solutions, I just didn't find a better one that using strtotime() equivalent modifiers here.
