True, but this means that for timezone abbreviation "Z" you simply put "1
monthZ", but for "S" you have to write "1 monthsS", which is not so obvious.

"months" alone is a variant keyword for "month", so no.

Then following this logic '-1 months' should be parsed as 1 month + S, where S
is a timezone abbreviation?

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
That is because they are not invalid. "Z" is a timezone abbreviation:
derick@whisky:~ $ php -r 'var_dump(date_parse("-1 monthZ"));'
array(17) {
'year' =>
bool(false)
'month' =>
bool(false)
'day' =>
bool(false)
'hour' =>
bool(false)
'minute' =>
bool(false)
'second' =>
bool(false)
'fraction' =>
bool(false)
'warning_count' =>
int(0)
'warnings' =>
array(0) {
}
'error_count' =>
int(0)
'errors' =>
array(0) {
}
'is_localtime' =>
bool(true)
'zone_type' =>
int(2)
'zone' =>
int(0)
'is_dst' =>
bool(false)
'tz_abbr' =>
string(1) "Z"
'relative' =>
array(6) {
'year' =>
int(0)
'month' =>
int(-1)
'day' =>
int(0)
'hour' =>
int(0)
'minute' =>
int(0)
'second' =>
int(0)
}
}
And "SX" is (monthS + X), with X also be a timezone abbreviation:
derick@whisky:~ $ php -r 'var_dump(date_parse("-1 monthsx"));'
array(17) {
'year' =>
bool(false)
'month' =>
bool(false)
'day' =>
bool(false)
'hour' =>
bool(false)
'minute' =>
bool(false)
'second' =>
bool(false)
'fraction' =>
bool(false)
'warning_count' =>
int(0)
'warnings' =>
array(0) {
}
'error_count' =>
int(0)
'errors' =>
array(0) {
}
'is_localtime' =>
bool(true)
'zone_type' =>
int(2)
'zone' =>
int(660)
'is_dst' =>
bool(false)
'tz_abbr' =>
string(1) "X"
'relative' =>
array(6) {
'year' =>
int(0)
'month' =>
int(-1)
'day' =>
int(0)
'hour' =>
int(0)
'minute' =>
int(0)
'second' =>
int(0)
}
}
