Answer 1

$date = new DateTime('last day of this month');
$numDaysOfCurrentMonth = $date->format('d');

Answer 2

Use date function:

if (date('t') == date('j'))
{
   ...
}

Answer 3

this is to find the days in any month:

$days = intval(date('t', strtotime($desiredDate)));

Answer 4

date('t');

or you may use

cal_days_in_month.

see here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.cal-days-in-month.php

Answer 5

And here it is, wrapped up as a function:

function is_last_day_of_month($timestamp = NULL) {
    if(is_null($timestamp))
        $timestamp = time();
    return date('t', $timestamp) == date('j', $timestamp);
}
