PHP add date to month end

Question

PHP last day of the month

I have to set an expiry date to my application.

First user have to select a duration of listing, for eg its 1 year and today is 25-Nov-2012

Then we have to add this 1 year to current date and automatically set expiry date as its month end. ie expiry date will be 30-Nov-2013

If current date is 04-Oct-2012 and select 1 year duration, then expiry date is 31-Oct-2012.

I success in add one/two/ whatever years to the current date, but how to find out its month end ?

in function date, parameter "t" return number of days in the given month http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php — adalpari, Nov 27 '12 at 15:53
Do you know timestamp? You should rather use timestamp to save and calculate the delta between values (current and the value saved in DB) ;-) — clement, Nov 27 '12 at 15:44

You can do this:

echo date("Y-m-t", strtotime("+1 year"));

Something like the following should work for you:

echo date("Y-m-t", strtotime("+1 year"));

try this code:

echo date(date('t',strtotime($date)) . '-M-Y', strtotime($date . ' +1 year'));
