you are completely right, IMHO... one simply needs to choose their desired

It's all about definition.
right... that's what i meant by "desired base"... eg: calendar, SI notation,
Julian, Gregorian, etc...)
For me I would think that given "today" is the last day of a given
month, then "today" + 1 month = the same date on in the next month,
agreed...
or if the next month has fewer day, the last day of the next month.
yeah... i'm undecided on that :? (** below) my current code returns the
following...
2012-01-29 to 2012-02-29 is 0 yrs 1 mos 0 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-03-01 is 0 yrs 1 mos 3 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-03-31 is 0 yrs 2 mos 2 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-04-30 is 0 yrs 3 mos 1 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-05-31 is 0 yrs 4 mos 2 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-06-30 is 0 yrs 5 mos 1 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-07-31 is 0 yrs 6 mos 2 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-08-31 is 0 yrs 7 mos 2 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-09-30 is 0 yrs 8 mos 1 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-10-31 is 0 yrs 9 mos 2 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-11-30 is 0 yrs 10 mos 1 days
2012-01-29 to 2012-12-31 is 0 yrs 11 mos 2 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-02-29 is 0 yrs 0 mos 29 days**
2012-01-31 to 2012-03-01 is 0 yrs 1 mos 1 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-03-31 is 0 yrs 2 mos 0 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-04-30 is 0 yrs 2 mos 30 days**
2012-01-31 to 2012-05-31 is 0 yrs 4 mos 0 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-06-30 is 0 yrs 4 mos 30 days**
2012-01-31 to 2012-07-31 is 0 yrs 6 mos 0 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-08-31 is 0 yrs 7 mos 0 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-09-30 is 0 yrs 7 mos 30 days**
2012-01-31 to 2012-10-31 is 0 yrs 9 mos 0 days
2012-01-31 to 2012-11-30 is 0 yrs 9 mos 30 days**
2012-01-31 to 2012-12-31 is 0 yrs 11 mos 0 days
So
- april 30th + 1 month = may 30th
- march 31st + 1 month = may 30th (not june 1st)
Yet all of our "tools" (includimg mine) say march 31st to april 30th =
0 months + 30 days...
i know what you mean ;) :)
