Description:
------------
strtotime() will not parse the following call the right way:
strtotime("2005-02-28 00:00:00 - 3 months")
but will parse this correctly:
strtotime("2005-02-28 00:00:00 + -3 months")



Reproduce code:
---------------
print date("Y-m-d h:m:s",strtotime("2005-02-28 00:00:00 - 3 months"));

print date("Y-m-d h:m:s",strtotime("2005-02-28 00:00:00 + -3 months"));

Expected result:
----------------
2004-11-25 12:11:00

Actual result:
--------------
2005-05-25 12:05:00

<?
print date("Y-m-d h:m:s",strtotime("2005-02-28 00:00:00 -3 months"));
?>
works fine (note that there is no space between "-" and "3").

strtotime() is not some intelligent being which can magically interpret anything you pass it. Ditch the space between - and 3 and it works.
