PHP Strtotime -1month -2month

Question

This was working fine yesterday with no changes to the code.

echo date(\"M\", strtotime(\"-3 month\", time()) );
echo date(\"M\", strtotime(\"-2 month\", tim         


        

Answer 1

From PHP 5.3 (Ref: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44073) and higher you can do:

"first day of +1 month" or "first day of next month" or even "last day of next month"

Example:

$date = '2015-12-31';

echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date ."first day of previous month"));

Will produce: 2015-11-01 This does not calculate days on +30 days time basis.
