PHP strtotime +1 month behaviour

Question

I know about the unwanted behaviour of PHP\'s function

strtotime

For example, when adding a month (+1

Answer 1

Here's the algorithm you can use. It should be simple enough to implement yourself.

• Have the original date and the +1 month date in variables
• Extract the month part of both variables
• If the difference is greater than 1 month (or if the original is December and the other is not January) change the latter variable to the last day of the next month. You can use for example t in date() to get the last day: date( 't.m.Y' )
