This is the case for any month where the current day number is not found in the requested month. The last day in a month should be returned if the current day is not found in that month. Example: date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('june', strtotime("july 31 2010"))) gives July 1. Bug #49115 points out this fact for "February" in the form of a bug report. This report shows that the problem exists for all months (with better sample cases) and I am requesting a change to the accepted behavior in favor of something more sensible. Test script: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); print_r(array( date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("january 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("february 28 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("march 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("april 30 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("may 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("june 30 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("july 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("august 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("september 30 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("october 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("november 30 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("december 31 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("january 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("february 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("march 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("april 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("may 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("june 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("july 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("august 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("september 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("october 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("november 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('february', strtotime("december 1 2010"))), date(DATE_RFC822,strtotime('june', strtotime("july 31 2010"))), )); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [1] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [2] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [3] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [4] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [5] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [6] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [7] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [8] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [9] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [10] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [11] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [12] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [13] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [14] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [15] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [16] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [17] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [18] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [19] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [20] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [21] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [22] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [23] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [24] => Wed, 30 Jun 10 00:00:00 -0400 ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [1] => Sun, 28 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [2] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [3] => Tue, 02 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [4] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [5] => Tue, 02 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [6] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [7] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [8] => Tue, 02 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [9] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [10] => Tue, 02 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [11] => Wed, 03 Mar 10 00:00:00 -0500 [12] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [13] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [14] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [15] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [16] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [17] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [18] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [19] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [20] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [21] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [22] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [23] => Mon, 01 Feb 10 00:00:00 -0500 [24] => Thu, 01 Jul 10 00:00:00 -0400 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51447&edit=1
