Here is how I did it.

<?php

//total days in september
$septNumberOfDays = 30;

//get the day of the month for 12:00:00am on the last day of September of
the current year
$septLastDay = date('w', mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, $septNumberOfDays, date('Y')));

//if the last day itself isn't a sunday
if($septLastDay != 0) {
 //set the last sunday timestamp
 $septLastSunday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, ($septNumberOfDays - $septLastDay),
date('Y'));
} else {
 //otherwise set the last sunday timestamp to the last day of sept
 $septLastSunday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, $septNumberOfDays, date('Y'));
}

print date('l, F j, Y', $septLastSunday);

?>
