you need a process with a few simple steps.
1. find the last day of the month, this is quite easy ... google
gives answers
as does the manual. e.g.:
http://lutrov.com/blog/php-last-day-of-the-month-calculation/
2. determine if this is a week day. if yes go to step three else
'roll the date back'
24 hours and go to step 2.
3. determine if this is a holiday, if yes 'roll the date back' 24
hours and go
to step 2. else you have found the last working day of the month.
with regard to determining if a day is a holiday your best bet is to
store these
in a database table. and check against that ... you may be able to
find a source
of holiday data online from which you can sync your local datasource
periodically
(e.g. via a cron job).

Well it should!! The advice I love most of all is like this, helping
me see the clear logic, and then letting me figure out how to write it
w/the language at hand. This reply post of mine does not add anything
for anyone; sometimes I just can't help express my appreciation for
things. Brilliant Jochem!
