After looking around I couldn't find any code that would properly and simply compute the last day of the month. +1 month will not work ex. 1 month after February 28th is March 3rd. This line of code returns the last day of the current month: <?php echo 'Last day of the month: ' . date('m/d/y h:i a',(strtotime('next month',strtotime(date('m/01/y'))) - 1)); ?> It uses the first of the current month, gets the first of the next month, then subtracts 1 second to give you 11:59pm on the last day of the current month. Hope this helps someone. --was-- After looking around I couldn't find any code that would properly and simply compute the last day of the month. +1 month will not work ex. 1 month after February 28th is March 3rd.
