note 85626 added to function.strtotime

I was using some code to generate a list of 12 months before this month so in September, the list looks like this: * August 2008 * July 2008 * June 2008 * May 2008 * April 2008 * March 2008 * March 2008 * January 2008 * December 2007 * November 2007 * October 2007 * September 2007 * August 2007 using the code date('F Y',strtotime("$i month")) and substituting a negative number for $i in a for loop. Well, when this code runs on the 30th of the month, February becomes March, because there is no 30th of February, and on the 31st of a month, there are a whole lot of months that don't work right. So, what i did was calculate from the 15th of the current month and then subract months like this: date('F Y',strtotime(date('Y-m-15')."$i month")) So, my question is, why is strtotime doing it's subtraction in days instead of the actual months that are referenced? ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 74.138.173.43 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85626 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85626 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85626 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
