Get number days in a specified month using JavaScript? [duplicate]

// Month in JavaScript is 0-indexed (January is 0, February is 1, etc), 
// but by using 0 as the day it will give us the last day of the prior
// month. So passing in 1 as the month number will return the last day
// of January, not February
function daysInMonth (month, year) {
    return new Date(year, month, 0).getDate();
}

// July
daysInMonth(7,2009); // 31
// February
daysInMonth(2,2009); // 28
daysInMonth(2,2008); // 29
