By: Binu v Pillai in PHP Tutorials on 2011-08-12
Another useful function to find the first and last day of the month from the given date in PHP.
<?php
function findFirstAndLastDay($anyDate)
{
//$anyDate = '2009-08-25'; // date format should be yyyy-mm-dd
list($yr,$mn,$dt) = split('-',$anyDate); // separate year, month and date
$timeStamp = mktime(0,0,0,$mn,1,$yr); //Create time stamp of the first day from the give date.
$firstDay = date('D',$timeStamp); //get first day of the given month
list($y,$m,$t) = split('-',date('Y-m-t',$timeStamp)); //Find the last date of the month and separating it
$lastDayTimeStamp = mktime(0,0,0,$m,$t,$y);//create time stamp of the last date of the give month
$lastDay = date('D',$lastDayTimeStamp);// Find last day of the month
$arrDay = array("$firstDay","$lastDay"); // return the result in an array format.
return $arrDay;
}
//Usage
$dayArray=array();
$dayArray=findFirstAndLastDay('2009-02-25');
print $dayArray[0];
print $dayArray[1];
?>

Here is another gmgetdate that is a little faster/suscint (no loops).
<?php
function gmgetdate2($ts = null){
$k = array('seconds','minutes','hours','mday',
'wday','mon','year','yday','weekday','month',0);
return(array_combine($k,split(":",
gmdate('s:i:G:j:w:n:Y:z:l:F:U',is_null($ts)?time():$ts))));
}
?>
