Bug description:Last Month (feb/march issue)
Description:
------------
At the moment, because today is March 29th, my script using
date("F Y",strtotime('-1 Month')) or date("F Y",strtotime('Last Month'))
Shows March 2013 (a few days ago it showed February 2013) I believe this is
due
to
feb's short days. I did some testing to it, if I where to do
date("F Y",strtotime('-2 Month')) the output is January 2013, thats current
to
the
current date.
This would be a bug due to php's capabilities in resolving actual calendar
days.
I've seen postings that "this is not a bug" but it is, you can't have a
script
designed to give calendar day results, and have it given the wrong results
out.
Its incorrect and needs to be resolves. PHP is the software, and the
software
should be patched to give the current calendar days.
Test script:
---------------
date("F Y",strtotime('Last Month'))
Expected result:
----------------
February 2013
Actual result:
--------------
March 2013
