Arrays and Functions: Is there a better way?

[morocco-iceberg]

Just wondering if there's a better/neater way to do this?

 

       <?php
	$a=array("February");
	$b=array("April","June","September","November");
	$c=array("January","March","May","July","August","October","December");
	echo $c[0];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $a[0];
	te();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $c[1];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $b[0];
	t();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $c[2];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $b[1];
	t();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $c[3];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $c[4];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $b[2];
	t();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $c[5];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $b[3];
	t();
	echo "<br/>";
	echo $c[6];
	to();
	echo "<br/>";

	function te(){
		$counter=0;
		while($counter<28){	
			$counter=$counter+1;
			echo " $counter ";
		}
	}
	function t(){
		$counter=0;
		while($counter<30){	
			$counter=$counter+1;
			echo " $counter ";
		}
	}
	function to(){
		$counter=0;
		while($counter<31){	
			$counter=$counter+1;
			echo " $counter ";
		}
	}
	?>

Ouch... that was ugly lol. No offense.

 

for ($m = 1; $m <= 12; $m++) {
     $time = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1, date('Y'));
     $days = date('t', $time);
     $month = date('F', $time);
     echo sprintf("%s - %d<br />", $month, $days);
}

 

Try that. Not tested though.

 

Edit - you may need to add something to it to duplicate the effect. Just to get you started.

I actually have to do it using arrays, its a homework assignment, lol, no way I would have used arrays for this purpose unless I was made to.

And you tell me that now? Any other rules we should know about? Do we have to keep the 3 arrays?

Put all the months in one array. Get they year from date() then loop through the months array using cal_days_in_month.

I guess I should have said so. I'm supposed to have the three seperate arrays according to the amount of days in each month.
