texte = How do I get the last day of last month?I could do the math on the number of days since 00/00/0000orI could do the math on the {dates}but in both cases I would have to do a lot of conditionals:[if ("[thisMonth]"="[april]") | ("[thisMonth]"="[jun]") | ("[thisMonth]"="[aug]") | ,etc....][then][text]ThisMonthsLastDigit=30[/text][/then][else][text]ThisMonthsLastDigit=31[/text][/else][/if][showif [URL][thisMonth][/URL]=feb][text]ThisMonthsLastDigit=28[/text][/showif][if ("[thisYearTYPE]"="[leapyear]") & ("[thisMonth]"="[feb]")][then][text]ThisMonthsLastDigit=29[/text][/then][/if]and there are deeper cycles, I understand, like every 10th year we skip a leap year, (or something like that), etc.SO I figure it is a waste of time to rewrite the date libraries WebDNA uses. So back to my question:Given that I don't know what month it is now, what WebDNA logic/code do I need to use to figure out whether last month's last day's digit is "28", "29", "30", or "31"?...and if this is any easier, what I am ultimately after is the exact number (a date "expressed as days since 00/00/0000") of the *first* day of last month, and the *last* day of last month.Thanks for any help!-Govinda
