Description:
------------
I have a problem like this. For a given date I need to get the last day of the previous month. 

For example 
today is 2019-07-31, I needed date is 2019-06-30 



Test script:
---------------
echo date('Y-m-t', strtotime("2019-07-31" . '-1 months'));
echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 Month"));

Expected result:
----------------
2019-07-31
2019-07-01

Actual result:
--------------
2019-06-30
2019-06-01 or 2019-06-30

Your Expected and Actual are backwards.

2019-07-31 - 1 month = 2019-06-31 which overflows to 2019-07-01.

strtotime() supports a lot of expressions. One of them fits your needs exactly.
