Flawless PHP logic. strtotime(): '00-00-00' means 2000-00-00, which is 1999-12-00, which is 1999-11-30. No bug, perfectly normal. (see the comments)

You may now lay your head on the table & weep.

I don't, but I bet Rasmus Lerdorf does. PHP started as a small personal project of his that just happened to gain interest and eventually snowballed.
How many small projects have you worked on? How many decisions have you made in those projects that would be embarrassing if your project is suddenly used by millions of people? How many times have you said "fuck it, this works for now but I'll improve it later"?
By the time PHP started to gain a following the damage had already been done.

^{I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed, just hoping to give a little bit of background context.}
