I use 1 as the day, if I want to find the last month, or a simple
$lastmonth = ($curmonth == 1,12, $curmonth -1);

The date with mktime is great for calculating out an arbitrary date
such as add 30 days to the current date, etc. It's not a bug, but a
great feature, if you understand how it works.

Here is some date arithmetic I posted that uses mktime, just to give
you an idea.
