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/>';

    $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。

试试这个，如果你使用的是PHP 5.3+，

$a_date = "2009-11-23";
$date = new DateTime($a_date);
$date->modify('last day of this month');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

为了查找下个月最后的日期，修改如下:

 $date->modify('last day of 1 month');
 echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

等等。

有很多方法可以得到一个月的最后一天。

//to get last day of current month
echo date("t", strtotime('now'));

//to get last day from specific date
$date = "2014-07-24";
echo date("t", strtotime($date));

//to get last day from specific date by calendar
$date = "2014-07-24";
$dateArr=explode('-',$date);
echo cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $dateArr[1], $dateArr[0]); 

使用Zend_Date非常简单:

$date->setDay($date->get(Zend_Date::MONTH_DAYS));

您也可以将它与datetime一起使用

$date = new \DateTime();
$nbrDay = $date->format('t');
$lastDay = $date->format('Y-m-t');
