LAST_DAY()

Synopsis

LAST_DAY(date)

Returns the last day of the month for the given DATETIME value date. If the argument is invalid, it returns NULL. This code:

SELECT LAST_DAY('2016-02-03');
SELECT LAST_DAY('2016-03-11');
SELECT LAST_DAY('2016-04-26');

returns the following values:

2016-02-29
2016-03-31
2016-04-30

As you’d expect, it correctly returns the 28th day of February, the 31st of March, and the 30th of April 2011.
