how to check number of day for month

[jannoy]

to all guru

is there a function that can detect immediate number day of the month??

example :
When I entered november
it should automatically detect the number of day of November

like 30?

You could make you own function to do that:

function days_in_month($mon)
{
    $mon_days = array('Jan' => '31', 
                      'Feb' => '28, sometimes 29', 
                      'Mar' => '31'); // etc.
    return $mon_days[$mon];
}

echo days_in_month('Mar');  // echos "31"

Look up the flags available to [MAN]date[/MAN]. The one you want is 't' IIRC.
