Note Submitter: micma18 ---- To make a graphical layout of a calendar, running Monday to Sunday, you first need to make some blank days, if the month isn’t starting on a Monday. To find this number of blank days, you can very simple just -1 from the date(w, $first_day_of_the_month) function to change it from a Sunday-Saturday to Monday-Sunday format... But there’s a little tricky problem, if the first day of the month is a Sunday (native day 0 of the month), the var is a value of -1, which could be a problem... (In my calendar anyway) But a little if statement fixes this, very well: if ($dayone < 0){ $dayone = $dayone + 7; } By adding 7 to -1 you get the six blank days, as you should :-) Know this isn’t rocket science, but I didn’t spot this problem my self, until my boss called me up, and complained that October 1 wasn’t a Monday... Hope this could help with similar problems!
