Answer 1

Try this:

function getDates($year)
{
    $dates = array();

    date("L", mktime(0,0,0, 7,7, $year)) ? $days = 366 : $days = 365;
    for($i = 1; $i <= $days; $i++){
        $month = date('m', mktime(0,0,0,1,$i,$year));
        $wk = date('W', mktime(0,0,0,1,$i,$year));
        $wkDay = date('D', mktime(0,0,0,1,$i,$year));
        $day = date('d', mktime(0,0,0,1,$i,$year));

        $dates[$month][$wk][$wkDay] = $day;
    } 

    return $dates;   
}

it will return an array of months->weeks->day->weekday of the year you pass to the function. Hopefully it should be easy to traverse through the array to print everything out. Am sure there are a lot of tweaks you can make to that but its a start.

I would also try and stay away from printing out html using echo, for example instead of;

echo '';
for($i=1;$i<$firstDay['wday'];$i++){
    echo ' ';
}

do;

;

    

It kind of makes the code more readable I think.

EDIT: Just thought I should include an example of a use case as well, as below:

 $weeks) { ?>
 $days){ ?>
    

    

        
', $weekdays); ?>
    
    

        
        

            
        
               
        
    
    

Which gives you the output:
