I use this with a daily cron job to check if I should send an email on the first day of any given month to my affiliates  It s a few more lines than the other answers but solid as a rock     is this the first day of the month   date   date  Y-m-d     pieces   explode  -    date    day    pieces 2      if it s not the first day then stop if  day     01           echo  error - it s not the first of the month today        exit

using date method  we should be able to get the result  ie  date  N D l   mktime 0  0  0  month  day  year     For Example  echo date  N   mktime 0  0  0  7  1  2017         will return 6 echo date  D   mktime 0  0  0  7  1  2017         will return Sat echo date  l   mktime 0  0  0  7  1  2017         will return Saturday

All those special php expressions  in spirit of first day of     are great  though they go out of my head time and again   So I decided to build a couple of basic datetime abstractions and tons of specific implementation which are auto-completed by any IDE  The point is to find what-kind of things  Like  today  now  the first day of a previous month  etc  All of those things I ve listed are datetimes  Hence  there is an interface or abstract class called ISO8601DateTime  and specific datetimes which implement it   The code in your particular case looks like that    new TheFirstDayOfThisMonth new Now    - gt value      For more about this approach  take a look at this entry

Currently I m using this solution    firstDay   new  DateTime  first day of this month     lastDay   new  DateTime  last day of this month      The only issue I came upon is that strange time is being set  I needed correct range for our search interface and I ended up with this    firstDay   new  DateTime  first day of this month 00 00 00     lastDay   new  DateTime  first day of next month 00 00 00

Requires PHP 5 3 to work   first day of  is introduced in PHP 5 3   Otherwise the example above is the only way to do it    lt  php        First day of this month      d   new DateTime  first day of this month        echo  d- gt format  jS  F Y            First day of a specific month      d   new DateTime  2010-01-19         d- gt modify  first day of this month        echo  d- gt format  jS  F Y            alternatively        echo date create  2010-01-19         - gt modify  first day of this month         - gt format  jS  F Y      In PHP 5 4  you can do this    lt  php        First day of this month     echo  new DateTime  first day of this month   - gt format  jS  F Y         echo  new DateTime  2010-01-19          - gt modify  first day of this month         - gt format  jS  F Y      If you prefer a concise way to do this  and already have the year and month in numerical values  you can use date      lt  php     echo date  Y-m-01       first day of this month     echo date   year- month-01       first day of a month chosen by you
