I would do it this way: - select all dates of free vacation properties of the given/current month - put the dates from the DB result into an array - create the calendar with the example from above and check for every day if there is an entry for the day in your array - if so give the table cell a specific color and/or link to page containing detailed information - otherwise blank the cell out or whatever Hope this helps!
