coldfusion first and last day of previous month
Hi, I need to have a cfparam date default as first day of previous month and last day of previous month. Here is what I had and it did not work:
<!---First Day of Previous Month--->
<cfparam name="url.StartDate" default = "#DateFormat(DATEADD("m", DATEDIFF("m", 0, now()) - 1, 0),"mm/dd/yyyy")#">
<!---Last day of Previous Month--->
<cfparam name="url.EndDate" default = "#DateFormat(DATEADD("d",-
the result of the url.startdate = 4/30/2011
and the url.enddate = 05/29/2011.
What I am looking is the startdate = 05/01/2011 and enddate=05/31/2011
thank you,

Hi SidFishes,
Thank you very much for the help. I did try to understand Ben's function, but unable to got it to work for the last day of the month. Can you please copy/past it out which part I need to get the last day of the month.
I do understand your code for the first day of the month and substract 1 for the previous month logic. thank you,

I got this far:
<cfset dtThisMonth = CreateDate(
Year( Now() ),
Month( Now() ),
1
) />
<cfset dtLastDay = (
DateAdd( "m", 1, dtThisMonth ) -
1
) />
<cfoutput>#DateFormat(dtLa
the above get me: 6/30/2011, where should I subtract 1 to get the last month?
thanks,

Year( Now() ),
Month( Now() ),

<cfset dtLastDay = (
DateAdd( "m", 1, dtThisMonth ) -

) />

How about this:
<!---First Day of Previous Month--->
<cfparam name="url.StartDate" default = "#DateFormat(CreateDate(Year(Now()),Month(Now())-1,1),"mm/dd/yyyy")#">
<!---Last day of Previous Month--->
<cfparam name="url.EndDate" default = "#DateFormat(DateAdd("d",-1,CreateDate(Year(Now()),Month(Now()),1)),"mm/dd/yyyy")#">
<cfdump var="#URL#" >SOLUTION

Take _agx_ version.
It's not even mine anyway ;) Just a slight mod to what SidFishes posted.

"a slight mod"!!!
SideFishes snippet stated only that first of month is allways 1.
His yyyy calculation and zero for January are simply wrong.
