What do you mean by "from the entire last month"?  The expression you 
have will give for June, for example, '2012-06-01 00:00:00' which is 
already in DATETIME format (which I assume is how your data are stored 
in that column).  So, if you want everything from the first of June it 
would be

$sql ="SELECT WHATEVER FROM WHEREVER ";
$sql .= "WHERE THE_COL_NAME >= '2012-" . date('m') . "-01 00:00:00'";

Note that the final value of $sql in this case, for June, would be

SELECT WHATEVER FROM WHEREVER WHERE
THE_COL_NAME >= '2012-06-01 00:00:00'
