Hi Edward

I think your timezone settings for PHP are incorrect then. Run the
following commands and show us the output.

echo "<?php echo date('r', strtotime('last day of next month
23:59:59'));?>" | php
date -R
php -i|grep -i timezone

It's possible to have your PHP timezone and your system timezone set
differently. This will cause the date generated by PHP to be in a different
timezone to what the system is running in.

In all my tests of strtotime, I'm getting the correct results. Internally,
all Grase is doing is running strtotime at the point of creating a user.

Regards

Tim
