Re: [PHP] Validate The Last Day of Month with server's clock????
And the reason I quoted 'usual' is that my suggestion is more portable.

The 'usual' trick is to set the date to the first day of the month after
the
one you want and then subtract one day.
Along those same lines, this works:
?php
$month = 12;
$year = 2003;
$last_day_of_month = mktime(12,0,0,$month+1,0,$year);
echo date('m/d/Y',$last_day_of_month);

Re: [PHP] Validate The Last Day of Month with server's clock????
Alright, interesting thought, never thought it would be possible. So, what would the PHP script be when matching it against the clock or something? Perhap mktime(). Anyone know? Scott F.

Ah! that seem nicer when just using the script ($month+1)...

Re: [PHP] Validate The Last Day of Month with server's clock????
Did a lot of searching on the internet and found a simple PHP code that does the trick. How the code work is when you pick a month where you want the last day to be in, then use the next month into the PHP script to get the last day of the month you're looking for. --snip-- //Want to see the last day of Febraury (Then insert the next month to find out). echo strftime(%d, mktime(0,0,0,3,0,2004)); --snip-- Scott Fletcher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Alright, interesting thought, never thought it would be possible.
