我知道这有点晚了，但我认为有一种更优雅的方式来使用PHP 5.3+使用DateTime类:

$date = new DateTime('now');
$date->modify('last day of this month');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

碳API扩展PHP DateTime

Carbon::parse("2009-11-23")->lastOfMonth()->day;

or

Carbon::createFromDate(2009, 11, 23)->lastOfMonth()->day;

将返回

30

这应该可以工作:

$week_start = strtotime('last Sunday', time());
$week_end = strtotime('next Sunday', time());

$month_start = strtotime('first day of this month', time());
$month_end = strtotime('last day of this month', time());

$year_start = strtotime('first day of January', time());
$year_end = strtotime('last day of December', time());

echo date('D, M jS Y', $week_start).'<br/>';
echo date('D, M jS Y', $week_end).'<br/>';

echo date('D, M jS Y', $month_start).'<br/>';
echo date('D, M jS Y', $month_end).'<br/>';

echo date('D, M jS Y', $year_start).'<br/>';
echo date('D, M jS Y', $year_end).'<br/>';

这是一个更优雅的表达月底的方式:

  $thedate = Date('m/d/Y'); 
  $lastDayOfMOnth = date('d', mktime(0,0,0, date('m', strtotime($thedate))+1, 0, date('Y', strtotime($thedate)))); 

还有一个内置的PHP函数cal_days_in_month()?

"此函数将返回指定日历的某月中的天数。" http://php.net/manual/en/function.cal-days-in-month。

echo cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, 11, 2009); 
// = 30

如果你使用碳API扩展PHP DateTime，你可以得到一个月的最后一天:

$date = Carbon::now();
$date->addMonth();
$date->day = 0;
echo $date->toDateString(); // use toDateTimeString() to get date and time
