There is a bug in the constructor of this object if you are only specifying the month and the year when dealing with the month of February.

$date = new DateTime('2009-02');
echo $date->format('Y-m');

Expected result:
----------------
2009-02

Actual result:

Not a bug.  As documented, this defaults to now and you can override individual components in the constructor.  In your case you have chosen Feb. 2009, but didn't specify a day of the month.  PHP picks todays day, which is the 31st day of the month.  The 31st day of Feb will fall in March since Feb doesn't have 31 days.

I can not reproduce this, what does the following output:

<?php
$str = "2009-02";
echo date_default_timezone_get(), "\n";
var_dump( date_parse( $str ) );
$date = new DateTime( $str );
echo $date->format( DateTime::ISO8601 ), "\n";
?>

Just as a comment to Rasmus, that's not true. The format "2009-02" implicitly sets the day nr as 1.

The output from your script on my box:

America/Los_Angeles
array(12) {
  ["year"]=>
  int(2009)
  ["month"]=>
  int(2)
  ["day"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["hour"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["minute"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["second"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["fraction"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["warning_count"]=>
  int(0)
  ["warnings"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["error_count"]=>
  int(0)
  ["errors"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["is_localtime"]=>
  bool(false)
}

That 'false' there on the date will make it default to today's date.  Seeing it on both 5.2 and 5.3 on Freebsd.
