Summary: strtotime returns wrong results
Status: Assigned
Type: Bug
Package: Date/time related
Operating System: linux
PHP Version: 5.2.12
Assigned To: derick
New Comment:
I'm not sure there would be consensus on my expected return values here,
but it
makes more sense then getting March as a result.
Reproduce code:
---------------
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
echo date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('march 31 2010 -1 month'));
echo date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('march 30 2010 -1 month'));
echo date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('march 29 2010 -1 month'));
echo date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('march 28 2010 -1 month'));
Expected result:
----------------
Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500
Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500
Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500
Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500
Actual result:
----------------
Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500
Tue, 02 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500
Mon, 01 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500
Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500

This may be fodder for another bug report, but strtotime() more
specifically
"returns wrong results" for the last three days of March 2010.
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
echo PHP_VERSION."\n".
date(DATE_RFC822)."\n".
date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('last month'));

Re-opening because of the question marks:
firstdayof = 'first day of'?;
lastdayof = 'last day of'?;
It shouldn't cause an issue though, but it needs fixing.

Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of derick
Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=295892
Log: - Fixed bug #51096 ('last day' and 'first day' are handled
incorrectly when
parsing date strings).
- For 5.2 I just added the test case minus new 5.3 additions.

Actually, there is a bug here "first day" and "last day" should be "+1
day" and "-1 day".
