$month = date('m')+1;
if ($month<10) {
    $month = '0'.$month;
}
echo date('Y-').$month.'-01';

Simplest way to achieve this. You can echo or store into variable.

(PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

To get the first day of next month a clean solution:

<?php
$date = new DateTimeInmutable('now');
$date->modify('first day of next month');//here the magic occurs

echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . '\n';

Since you just want to calculate it I suggest using DateTimeInmutable class. using the class DateTime and $date->modify('first day of next month'); will modify your original date value.

12 years later and after reading the answers, I came up with this for my needs:

if(date('m') == 12) { $next_month = 1; } else { $next_month = date('m')+1; }
if($next_month == 1) { $year_start = date('Y')+1; } else { $year_start = date('Y'); }
$date_start_of_next_month = $year_start . '-' . $next_month . '-01 00:00:00';

if($next_month == 12) { $month_after = 1; } else { $month_after = $next_month+1; }
if($month_after == 1) { $year_end = date('Y')+1; } else { $year_end = date('Y'); }
$date_start_of_month_after_next = $year_end . '-' . $month_after . '-01 00:00:00';

Please note that instead of getting $date_end_of_next_month I chose to go with a $date_start_of_month_after_next date, it avoids the hassles with leap years and months containing different number of days. You can simply use the >= comparaision sign for $date_start_of_next_month and the < one for $date_start_of_month_after_next.

If you prefer a timestamp format for the date, from there you will want to apply the strtotime() native function of PHP on these two variables.

Hope it's not too late for helping with your needs. #kidding
