Answer 1

Try this , if you are using PHP 5.3+,

$a_date = "2009-11-23";
$date = new DateTime($a_date);
$date->modify('last day of this month');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

For finding next month last date, modify as follows,

 $date->modify('last day of 1 month');
 echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

and so on..
