[SOLVED] Need program flow explained

[Emmett]

$j = 1;
for ($i = $startDay; $i <= 6; $i++) {
$qr = 0;
	// the day = $i, so set a number & query the DB for this day
	if ($j < 10 AND !ereg("^0",$j)) {
	$q = "0".$j;
	} else {
	$q = $j;
	}
// this is the query results counter
$qr = 0;
echo "<td nowrap valign=\"top\"><font size=\"-1\">
<a href=\"./day.php?LocationID=$LocationID&Date=".$Year."-".$Month."-".$q."\">
        <b>$j</b></a><p>";

 

I have been trying to <style>$j in this echo statement but have only been able to effect the 2nd and beyond. The 1st day of the month has totally got me stumped.

The db query must happen before this echo statement but I completely do not understand how that happens. I would also like to know why there are 2 $qr=0;

What you have a eregi to compare to a integer??? That is pointless and a waste of resources.  Secondly You cut this so thight We can't tell what it is doing.

I figured it out:

Just move this code:

echo "<td nowrap valign=\"top\"><font size=\"-1\">
<a href=\"./day.php?LocationID=$LocationID&Date=".$Year."-".$Month."-".$q."\">
        <b>$j</b></a><p>";

 

to the bottom of this code:

for ($i = $startDay; $i <= 6; $i++) {

 

Then create a control variable such as $got and place it here:

$got="";
	if ($query) {
$got="hit";

 

then finish it up with an "if" statement to gain control of the <style> of the "$j" variable which is the day of the week like so:

If($got){
echo "<td align=\"center\" nowrap valign=\"top\">
<a href=\"./day.php?LocationID=$LocationID&Date=".$Year."-".$Month."-".$q."\"><b><font color=red>$j</font></b></a>";
}else{
echo "<td align=\"center\" nowrap valign=\"top\">
<a href=\"./day.php?LocationID=$LocationID&Date=".$Year."-".$Month."-".$q."\"><b>$j</b></a>";
}

No I can get rid of the <font> tag and put in a css class into the <td> tag. Done!
