I’m building a php calendar and need to know the total number of days in a month in the past I've used: 


<pre><code class="lang-php">echo cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, 2, 2017);
</code></pre>
For the current month you can use:


<pre><code class="lang-php">echo date('t');
</code></pre>
Or for a more a date based approach:


<pre><code class="lang-php">echo date('t', strtotime('2017-02-01'));
</code></pre>
