mktime shows wrong month

[amandab]

I am trying to find out what month is 5 months from now. This function has working with all other calculations. For example when I substitute 5 for a 4 it shows January. The output from the below equations shows 03 and should be 02.
Please help. Below is the code.

$sixthmonth = date("m", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n")+5, date("d"), date("Y")));

echo date('m', strtotime('+5 months'));

I still get 03 instead of 02. It just doesn't like February. Any other ideas?

think about it. today is 2005-09-29. there is no 2006-02-29. so 5 months down the road is 2005-03-01.

Didn't even think of that. Thanks, I will change me day to be 01 from now on to avoid the problem.
