I'm trying the following command in PHP 5.2.12 :

print (date('Y-m-d', strtotime('2009-12 last day')));

Regarding to the php.net manual :

date('m/d/y', strtotime('2009-03 last day')); # 03/31/09

it should display the last day of march 2009 (2009-03-31) !

Mine returns the last day of the previous month ? why ? :

2009-11-30
