Be carreful about this bug in php 5.6 and lower (fixed in php 7.0 and higher) :
<?php
$date = new DateTime("first day of last month");
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
echo ' => ' ;
$date->setDate(2013, 2, 3);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
?>
Output <=5.6 : 2017-03-01 => 2013-02-01
Output >=7.0 : 2017-03-31 => 2013-02-03
Same goes for "Last day of last month", and the funny part, it will take the last day of the new month setted by setDate
Example with a Leap Year :
<?php
$date = new DateTime("last day of last month");
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
echo ' => ' ;
$date->setDate(2012, 2, 3);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
?>
Output <=5.6 : 2017-03-31 => 2012-02-29
Output >=7.0 : 2017-03-31 => 2012-02-03

Be warned, DateTime::setDate() does not check for invalid input.
Illustration:
<?php
$dt = new DateTime();
$dt->setDate(2012, 11, 31); // returns DateTime object and not false although this date does not exist
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d'); // output: 2012-12-01
?>
No error was generated on entering a non existing date, php silently changed it.
