Description:
------------
When modifying a DateTime object with modify("last day of last month") syntax and 
followed by a setDate(), the date portion of setDate() is ignored. It modifies the 
year and the month, but continues to set the day portion to the last day of the 
month.

If modify() is called with the absolute date instead of setDate(), it correctly 
sets the date.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$date = new DateTime('2012-03-30');

$date->modify("last day of last month");
var_dump($date->format('Y-m-d')); // correctly last day of Feb

$date->setDate(2012, 1, 30);
var_dump($date->format('Y-m-d')); // incorrect date

$date->modify('2012-01-30');
var_dump($date->format('Y-m-d')); // does set correct date


Expected result:
----------------
string(10) "2012-02-29"
string(10) "2012-01-30"
string(10) "2012-01-30"

Actual result:
--------------
string(10) "2012-02-29"
string(10) "2012-01-31"
string(10) "2012-01-30"

Besides from being able to reproduce this completely, it also happens
when using setTimestamp(), as the day keeps being 'last day of month'.

PHP version: 5.4.9
OS: Mac OS X


Test script:
------------
<?php

$date = new DateTime('2012-03-30');

$date->modify("last day of last month");
var_dump($date->format('Y-m-d')); // correctly last day of Feb

$date->setTimestamp(1327881600); // 2012-01-30
var_dump($date->format('Y-m-d')); // incorrect date

$date->modify('2012-01-30');
var_dump($date->format('Y-m-d')); // does set correct date

I am also seeing this in PHP 5.5.1 on Ubuntu 13.04 x64.

Confirmed still a bug in 5.5.4 on Mac OS X.

Not quite sure whether this patch is correct, but I'll check it out!

Confirmed in 5.5.7 & 5.5.8 on Ubuntu 12.04 x64

Hi,

This is happening on Mac OS X 10.8.5

PHP 5.5.0 (cli) (built: Jun 21 2013 12:09:38) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0-dev, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.2.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2013, by Derick Rethans

It looks to be working in PHP 5.2 but broke in PHP 5.3 onwards.

http://3v4l.org/H3jZY

<?php


		date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
 
		$date = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
		$date->setTime(0,0,0);
		$date->modify('next month');
		$date->modify('last day of this month');
		$date->setDate(2014, 1, 21);

		// This should be 21st Jan 2014
		echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

A simple workaround:
$date->modify('+0 day');

This also happens after using a "descriptive string" in the constructor:

$dtEnd = new \DateTime("last day of last month");
var_dump($dtEnd);
$dtEnd = $dtEnd->setDate(2016, 04, 03);
var_dump($dtEnd);

3v4l.org shows this bug appears to be in all versions of PHP 5 + 7 to date.

This seems to happen only when using certain relative formats to create the DateTime object, such as 'last day of next month' or 'first day of this month', however 'last sat of July 2008' *does not* cause the error.

This issue has been fixed as of PHP 5.6.19 and 7.0.4, see
<https://3v4l.org/ATGLp> and <https://3v4l.org/H3jZY>.

This is still not fixed as it was said. Example below still does not work as expected.

$firstDayInMonth = new DateTime('first day of january');

echo $firstDayInMonth->setDate(date('Y'), 1, date('d'))->format('Y-m-d');

Outputs:
2017-01-01

PHP: 7.0.6-3
