You can start with the first day of the _next_ month, and go 1 day back...:
mysql> select dayofmonth('2002-11-01' - interval 1 day);
+-------------------------------------------+
| dayofmonth('2002-11-01' - interval 1 day) |
+-------------------------------------------+
| 31 |
+-------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
