现在，如果你有月份和年份，DateTime可以很方便地做到这一点

$date = new DateTime('last day of '.$year.'-'.$month);

来自另一个DateTime对象

$date = new DateTime('last day of '.$otherdate->format('Y-m'));

我需要下个月的最后一天，也许有人会需要它:

echo date("Y-m-t", strtotime("next month")); //is 2020-08-13, return 2020-09-30

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

2行代码，你就完成了:

$oDate = new DateTime("2019-11-23");

// now your date object has been updated with last day of month    
$oDate->setDate($oDate->format("Y"),$oDate->format("m"),$oDate->format("t"));

// or to just echo you can skip the above line using this
echo $oDate->format("Y-m-t");

function first_last_day($string, $first_last, $format) {
    $result = strtotime($string);
    $year = date('Y',$result);
    $month = date('m',$result);
    $result = strtotime("{$year}-{$month}-01");
    if ($first_last == 'last'){$result = strtotime('-1 second', strtotime('+1 month', $result)); }
    if ($format == 'unix'){return $result; }
    if ($format == 'standard'){return date('Y-m-d', $result); }
}

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))));
