Bug description: strtotime behaving erraticly in month change
Description:
------------
strtotime("- x month") will not work properly when
around a month change. The following code example was
run on 31.march. I have seen the previous bug reports
that indicate that month is really an alias for 30.5
days. However, this causes problems when you need to
correctly iterate (dynamically) with the month keyword.
It should iterate correctly when its specified as month,
if not my opinion is that implementations should use
strtotime("- ".$num*"30.5"." days");
Reproduce code:
---------------
for( $c=0;$c<12;$c++ )
echo date("F",strtotime("-".$c." month"))."<br>";
Expected result:
----------------
March
February
Januar
December
November
October
Actual result:
--------------
March
January
December
December
October
October
