In addition to other solutions, this may or may not be appropriate depending
on how you're handling your dates, but on the manual page for mktime is the
following:
> The last day of any given month can be expressed as the "0"
> day of the next month, not the -1 day. Both of the following

> $lastday = mktime (0,0,0,3,0,2000);
> echo strftime ("Last day in Feb 2000 is: %d", $lastday);
>
> $lastday = mktime (0,0,0,4,-31,2000);
> echo strftime ("Last day in Feb 2000 is: %d", $lastday);
Cheers!
