Description: ------------ call to modify('last day') has different effect in PHP 5.3 than in 5.2 It used to return a previous day, now it seems to return last day of the month, according to http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/tar/General-date-syntax.html#SEC115 "last" means -1 so 5.2 seems to get it right Reproduce code: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); $dt = new DateTime('today'); var_dump($dt->format('c')); $dt->modify('last day'); var_dump($dt->format('c')); $dt = new DateTime('01-04-2009'); var_dump($dt->format('c')); $dt->modify('last day'); var_dump($dt->format('c')); Expected result: ---------------- PHP 5.2.11 (cli) (built: Sep 18 2009 10:59:00) string(25) "2009-10-16T00:00:00+01:00" string(25) "2009-10-15T00:00:00+01:00" string(25) "2009-04-01T00:00:00+01:00" string(25) "2009-03-31T00:00:00+01:00" Actual result: -------------- PHP 5.3.0 (cli) (built: Jul 21 2009 17:02:21) string(25) "2009-10-16T00:00:00+01:00" string(25) "2009-10-31T00:00:00+00:00" string(25) "2009-04-01T00:00:00+01:00" string(25) "2009-04-30T00:00:00+01:00" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49904&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49904&r=mysqlcfg
