Question

I have a stored procedure with two parameters @startdate and @enddate

And I have a URL as below

‘http://localhost/filename.php?startdate=’01-08-2012’&enddate=’31-08-2012’

As it stands, every month I have to change this manually to get startdate and enddate of the present month. For e.g. for September, i will have to change ’01-09-2012′ ’31-09-2012′

I’m looking for php code or function which will take automatically first day of every month as startdate and last day of the the month as enddate in the url?

Answer 1

First and last day of the previous month:

$current_year = date('Y');
$current_month = date('m');
$lastdateofmonth = date('t', $current_month);
$startdate = "01-$current_month-$current_year";
$enddate = "$lastdateofmonth-$current_month-$current_year";
