I took mattbasta's approach because it's able to get the 'first day of next month' with a given date, but there is a tiny problem in calculating the $nextmonth. The fix is as below:

$now = getdate();
$nextmonth = ($now['mon'] + 1) % 13 + 1;
$year = $now['year'];
if($nextmonth == 1)
    $year++;
else
    $nextmonth--;
$thefirst = gmmktime(0, 0, 0, $nextmonth, $year);
