Question

Why is my PHP code giving me the wrong result the following code:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('d-m-Y');

Is working and producing:

30-01-2013

However this code:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('d-m-Y',strtotime("+1 month"));

Is producing this date:

02-03-2013

Instead of:

28-02-2013

However I only need the month number.

Solved by using

http://derickrethans.nl/obtaining-the-next-month-in-php.html

Code:

echo date('d-m-Y',strtotime("first day of next month"));

As I only needed the month number.
