Workaround in PHP

$string = 'last day of february next year';
$matches = array();
if (preg_match('/ of (?<month_name>january|february|march|april|may|june|july|august|september|october|november|december|jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|sept|oct|nov|dec)\s*(?<year>(([0-9]{2,4})|((last|this|next|(\-[0-9]+)|(\+[0-9]+)) years?)?))?/i', $string, $matches)) {
    if (empty($matches['year'])) {
        $string .= ' ' . date('Y');
    } elseif (!is_numeric($matches['year'])) {
        if ($now > 0) {
            $string = str_replace($matches['year'], date('Y', strtotime($matches['year'], $now)), $string);
        } else {
            $string = str_replace($matches['year'], date('Y', strtotime($matches['year'])), $string);
        }
    }
}

You're right - this needs looking at.

I have seen this Report:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50048

But different to them is, that i give a relative year.

Normaly it should translate the date first before it tries to resolve the day.

Description:
------------
strtotime goes wrong for "last day of February next year"

"last day of February next year"  got the 31.03 the last day of march as result.

Test script:
---------------
$bug_from = 1406625924; // 29.07.2014 11:25
echo strftime('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S', strtotime('last day of February next year', $bug_from));
echo ' != ';
echo strftime('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S', strtotime('last day of February 2015', $bug_from));
die();

Expected result:
----------------
28.02.2015 00:00:00 != 28.02.2015 00:00:00

Actual result:
--------------
31.03.2015 00:00:00 != 28.02.2015 00:00:00
