Description:
------------
$maxDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 1, 2009) ;
print date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 months", $maxDate)) ;

returns "2009-12-01" 



Expected result:
----------------
My understanding is that it should return "2009-11-30"

Besides where can i find the list of str parameter to be used in strtotime(str $time,int $now)

Not sure what you're doing here, but the script works perfectly fine here:

derick@kossu:/tmp$ cat bug51560.phpt
--FILE--
<?php
echo date_default_timezone_get(), "\n";
echo phpversion(), "\n";

$maxDate = mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 1, 2009);
var_dump( $maxDate );
echo date( DateTime::RFC2822 . ' e', $maxDate ), "\n";
$newDate = strtotime("-1 months", $maxDate);
var_dump( $newDate );
echo date( DateTime::RFC2822 . ' e', $newDate ), "\n";

echo date( 'Y-m-d', $newDate ), "\n";
?>
derick@kossu:/tmp$ php bug51560.phpt
