<?php

  $monthNames = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
if (!isset($_REQUEST["month"])) $_REQUEST["month"] = date("n");
if (!isset($_REQUEST["year"]))  $_REQUEST["year"]  = date("Y");

  $cMonth = $_REQUEST["month"];
  $cYear  = $_REQUEST["year"];
                
  $prev_year = $cYear;
  $next_year = $cYear;

	$prev_month = $cMonth-1;
	$next_month = $cMonth+1;

	if ($prev_month == 0 ) {
    $prev_month = 12;
    $prev_year = $cYear - 1;

I added the current day outside the for loop which is

 

$today = date("j");

 

then I put ($i - $startday + 1) in a variable called $day inside the loop. If $day == $today then add the bold tags to the $day var, else dont. then print day

 

Now instead of BOLD tags you can use something else, just change this line

 

 if($day == $today){ $day = "<b>".($i - $startday + 1)."</b>"; } else { $day = ($i - $startday + 1); }

 

<?php

  $monthNames = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
   if (!isset($_REQUEST["month"])) $_REQUEST["month"] = date("n");
   if (!isset($_REQUEST["year"]))  $_REQUEST["year"]  = date("Y");
   
  $cMonth = $_REQUEST["month"];
  $cYear  = $_REQUEST["year"];
                
  $prev_year = $cYear;
  $next_year = $cYear;

    $prev_month = $cMonth-1;
    $next_month = $cMonth+1;

    if ($prev_month == 0 ) {
    $prev_month = 12;
    $prev_year = $cYear - 1;
  }
    if ($next_month == 13 ) {
    $next_month = 1;
    $next_year = $cYear + 1;
  }

  $cMonth = $_REQUEST["month"];
  $cYear  = $_REQUEST["year"];
                
  $prev_year = $cYear;
  $next_year = $cYear;

    $prev_month = $cMonth-1;
    $next_month = $cMonth+1;

    if ($prev_month == 0 ) {
    $prev_month = 12;
    $prev_year = $cYear - 1;
  }
    if ($next_month == 13 ) {
    $next_month = 1;
    $next_year = $cYear + 1;
