In PHP, is there an easy way to get the first and last date of a month?

Question

I need to get the first and last day of a month in the format YYYY-MM-DD given only the month and year. Is there a good, easy way to do this?

Answer 1

OK, first is dead easy.

date ('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,MM,01,YYYY));

Last is a little trickier, but not much.

date ('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,MM + 1,-1,YYYY));

If I remember my PHP date stuff correctly...

**edit - Gah! Beaten to it about a million times...

Edit by Pat:

Last day should have been

date ('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,$MM + 1,0,$YYYY)); // Day zero instead of -1
