createMonth function - a different way to work the days

programming
1

The events part doesn’t work yet.

The part I need help first is on the way the days are populated. I use a for loop but I think there might be a better way, getting the first day of the calendar and then probably adding +1 day using strtotime or something like that.

I will continue tweaking it but if you guys have a recommendation please let me know.

Thanks :smiley:

createMonth($events=array())
	{
		if(isset($events)&&!is_array($events))
		{

		$output .= '<table><caption>'.date('F Y',strtotime($this->_workDate)).'</caption>
						<tr>
						<th>Sunday</th>
						<th>Monday</th>
						<th>Tuesday</th>
						<th>Wednesday</th>
						<th>Thursday</th>
						<th>Friday</th>
						<th>Saturday</th>
						</tr>';
		for($x=1;$x<7;$x++)
		{
			$tdDay = '<tr>';
			$tdContent = '<tr>';
			for($i=1;$i<8;$i++)
			{
				// place something inside the tdContent td
				// $tdContent .= date('m',strtotime($this->_workDate));
				// $tdInside = date('Y',strtotime($this->_workDate)).'-'.date('m',strtotime($this->_workDate)).'-'.$this->_currentDate;
				// $tdInside = $this->_currentDate;

				$tdContent .= '<td ';
