对我来说，最优雅的是使用DateTime

我不知道我没有看到DateTime::createFromFormat，一行程序

$lastDay = \DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d", "2009-11-23")->format("Y-m-t");

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/>';

这是一个完整的函数:

public function get_number_of_days_in_month($month, $year) {
    // Using first day of the month, it doesn't really matter
    $date = $year."-".$month."-1";
    return date("t", strtotime($date));
}

这将输出如下:

echo get_number_of_days_in_month(2,2014);

输出:28

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");

    $startDate = '2011-12-01';
    $endDate = date('Y-m');
    while (true) {
        try {
            $startDateTime = new DateTime($startDate);
            $startDateTime->add(new DateInterval('P1M'));
            $startDate = $startDateTime->format('Y-m-d');
            $endTime = $startDateTime->format('Y-m-t');
            echo $startDate . ' => ' . $endTime . PHP_EOL;
            if ($startDateTime->format('Y-m') == $endDate) {
                break;
            }
        } catch (Exception $exception) {
            var_dump($exception->getMessage());
            break;
        }
    }

在测试了许多解决方案之后，这个方法最适合我。

我使用strtotime与cal_days_in_month如下所示:

$date_at_last_of_month=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('2020-4-1
+'.(cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN,4,2020)-1).' day'));
