How to find the last day of the month from date?

How can I get the last day of the month in PHP?

Given:

$a_date = "2009-11-23"

I want 2009-11-30; and given

$a_date = "2009-12-23"

I want 2009-12-31.

Solution

  • t returns the number of days in the month of a given date (see the docs for date):

    $a_date = "2009-11-23";
echo date("Y-m-t", strtotime($a_date));
