Actually, the new parser that I wrote can handle this just fine... so,
shall we make next 2 or 1 (in PHP 5.1)?

I also know the rationale - without "next" linking to 2, there would be
no way to represent "2" as "second" already means something else (the
time unit). So I think we should not change it back to "1".

The change was due to bug report http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18655.

It looks like the GNU spec has changed, since at that time we all
agreed it said "next" was equivalent to 2 -- I even quoted the relevant
section in my contribution to the discussion.  It's more intuitive if
"next" is equivalent to 1, so I guess it would be reasonable to change
back, just as long as the various changes are sufficiently documented!

I made this change a while back, but I don't recall the reasoning now. 
The GNU page on this clearly states that next=1

Derick, do you remember what the logic for this was?

Well I guess this should be a feature change report, because 
anyone with some common sense would conclude that "next month" 
would mean June, not July. Do you go saying "I am going to be 
going on holiday first month"

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

first means +1
next means +2
second means +2
... so either use "first month" or "+1 month". No bug here.
