How to get every 15th and last day of the month in PHP

Question

I am trying to figure out on how to set my dates to every 15th and end of month only...what i\'m getting so far is only +15 days from my current date.. current date = date t

Answer 1

Try this

1. Find the first day of month
2. Find the Last Day of month as Lalji Nakum told
3. Check your date with 15th Day of month Like example bellow

if($today < $hDay){
    echo 'Start : '. date("t-m-Y");
}else if ($today >= $hDay){
    echo 'Start :'. $hDay;
}

Here, 1. $today will the current date, 2. $hDay will be the 15th day of the month like 15 Nov

Here is the sample code

echo 'First day of month '.
$fDay = date('01-m-Y');
echo '
 15th day of month '.
$hDay = date('d-m-Y', (strtotime($fDay)+ (86400 * 15)));
echo '
 Last Day of month '.
$lDay = date("t-m-Y");

echo '
 Current day '.
$today = date('d-m-Y');
//$today =  date('d-m-Y', strtotime($hDay)+86400 );
echo '
'; 
if($today < $hDay){
    echo 'Start : '. $lDay = date("t-m-Y");
}else if ($today >= $hDay){
    echo 'Start :'. $hDay;
}
