[SOLVED] can you see any difference?

[corillo181]

i got this calendar to tell me the current month..

 

the problem is i use it in one page and it works fine and then i try using it in another page and it does not work both pages are empty

 

this all there is in both the pages..

 

the problem in the second page the week starts one day earlier.. so if the first day was on Monday it would say Sunday is the first day.

 

page1 works

<?
$month=date("m");
$year=date("Y");
$start=mktime(12,0,0,$month,1,$year);

$firstDayArray = getdate($start);


$days= array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");
?>
<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
<?
foreach($days as $day){
echo "<td><b>$day</b></td>";
?>
<?
	}
for($count=0;$count < (6*7);$count++){
$dayArray=getdate($start);
if (($count % 7)==0){
	if($dayArray['mon'] != $month){
		break;
	} else {
		echo "</tr><tr>\n";
	}
}
if($count < $firstDayArray['wday'] || $dayArray['mon'] !=$month){				      echo "\t<td><br></td>\n";
} else {

echo "\t<td>".$dayArray['mday']."  </td>\n";
	$start +=(60*60*24);;
}
}
?>	
</tr></table>

 

 

page2 does not work

<table border="1" cellpadding="5">

<? 

$month=date("m");
$$year=date("Y");
$start=mktime(12,0,0,$month,1,$year);

$firstDayArray = getdate($start);

$days= array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");

foreach($days as $day){
echo"<td><b>$day</b></td>";
}
for($count=0;$count < (6*7);$count++){

$dayArray=getdate($start);
	if (($count % 7)==0){

	if($dayArray['mon'] != $month){
		break;
	} else {
		echo "</tr><tr>\n";
	}
}
if($count < $firstDayArray['wday'] || $dayArray['mon'] !=$month){
				      echo "\t<td><br></td>\n";
} else {

	echo "\t<td>".$dayArray['mday']."  </td>\n";
	$start +=(60*60*24);
}
}

?>
  </tr>
</table>

Line 5 or 6 in secound page:

$$year=date("Y");

Notice the $$year. There is your problem. remove the extra $

 

There you are setting up a variable variable. A variable variable where you can set a variable name as the value of another variable, eg:

$foo = 'bar';

$bar = 'hello world';

echo $$foo;

 

Now as the year variable in your code does not exist yet PHP cannot create a variable variable and thus it is probably causing the problem you are having
