30-03-2018 - 1 month  = 30-02-2018 which overflows to 02-03-2018.
30-03-2018 - 2 months = 30-01-2018 which does not need to overflow.

If your application requires special handling around the beginning or end of months then you need to write code for it.

But -1 month should substract by month not by -30 days

And that's exactly what it did: subtract one month. But there is no such thing as the 30th of February.
Read what I said again.

To obtain your expected output, you can use:

<?php
$d = '30-03-2018';

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last day of -1 month '.$d)), "\n";
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last day of -2 month '.$d)), "\n";
?>
