Apart from using date("t", $month) you can also determine the last
day of a month by getting the 0th day of the following month.
Say I wanted to know the last day in Feb 2006:
$mnth = 2;
echo date("d",mktime(13,0,0,$mnth + 1, 0, 2006));
This is sometimes useful when you are calculating, or your
The java mailing list I belong to recently had this same
conversation. I didn't know php had that ability built in. Java
doesn't (score another one for php). The cleanest solution I saw on
the Java list that would be non-language specific (in other words,
the same logic can be implemented i
date("t") will give you the number of days in the current month.
Or you can do:
date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year))
to get the number of days in a specific month in a specific year (that way you

Is there a way to easily tell PHP how many days there are in a selected
month without writing the following out for each month:
if($Month == "January") {
$NumberOfDays = 31;
}
elseif($Month == "February") {
if($Year == "A Leap Year") {
$NumberOfDays = 29;
}
You could also use the well known date() function to do that.
Here's the doc http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
Look for the format character "t", it wil give you the number of days of the
month you give it as timestamp.
