T返回给定日期当月的天数(date参见文档):

$a_date = "2009-11-23";
echo date("Y-m-t", strtotime($a_date));

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); }
}

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");

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');

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]);
