In the exercise above,

echo 'Number of days for the month of '.date('M'). ' is :' .date('t')."\n";: Outputs the current month's name concatenated with the total number of days in the month obtained using the "date()" function. The format specifier 'M' returns the abbreviated month name, and 't' returns the number of days in the given month.
