note 85626 rejected from function.strtotime by thiago

Note Submitter: corey1981 at gmail dot com ---- 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?
