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]); 

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。

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

如果你想回到几个月前，你也可以这样做。

 $list = [
        0, 1, 2, 3
    ];

    $date = new \Datetime();
    $dates = [];
    foreach($list as $item)
    {

        $set = clone $date;
        $set->modify("-$item month ");
       $dates[] = $set->modify("last day of this month");
       
    }
    return $dates;

如果你知道一个月的最后一天，

public function getLastDateOfMonth($month)
    {
        $date = date('Y').'-'.$month.'-01';  //make date of month 
        return date('t', strtotime($date)); 
    }

$this->getLastDateOfMonth(01); //31

另一种使用mktime而不是date('t')的方法:

$dateStart= date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, 10, 1, 2016)); //2016-10-01
$dateEnd = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, 11, 0, 2016)); //This will return the last day of october, 2016-10-31 :)

所以用这种方法，它会计算它是31 30还是29
